Clark County requires building and electrical permits for all solar PV installations. Online permits available through the Citizen Access Portal. NV Energy interconnection is governed by PUCN.
Clark County requires a Solar PV Installation Permit for all photovoltaic installations on residential and commercial properties in unincorporated areas, including Summerlin South, Spring Valley, Enterprise, Paradise, and Sunrise Manor. Both building and electrical permits are needed; fast-track online solar permits are available through the Clark County Citizen Access Portal for standard residential systems up to 12 kW. Plans must show structural attachment detail, array layout, conduit routing, inverter location, and disconnect placement. Rapid shutdown compliance per NEC 690.12 is required. Interconnection to NV Energy requires a separate application governed by Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (PUCN) rules under NRS 704.773. Net metering is available but at tiered compensation rates set by the PUCN since 2015 restructuring. Southern Nevada enjoys about 294 sunny days per year making rooftop solar economically attractive despite summer monsoon cloud cover. Ground-mount systems must meet Title 30 setback and height standards. Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit remains at 30 percent through 2032.
Unpermitted solar installations can be cited under Title 22 with stop-work orders and double permit fees. Interconnection without NV Energy approval can result in disconnection and loss of net metering eligibility. Unsafe installations risk fire marshal orders.
