the previous version of net metering in nevada was shut down by the state legislature and carried out by the public utilities commission in december 2015. under the new system, new rooftop solar customers will receive a reimbursement equal to a percentage of the retail price of electricity whenever they send their own energy back to the electric grid. that percentage rates are known as "tranches" and will start at 95% of the retail price for the first 80 mw of installed capacity.
