in the last days of the 2017 legislative session, the nevada legislature took a number of actions to "reopen the state to the development of and investment in distributed generation and community solar projects," according to the "national law review". the most recent development of solar power in nevada has been utility-scale projects (vs. home-based solar panels). this is due to the decision in 2015 by the public utility commission of nevada that changed net metering rates "paid by utilities for electricity produced by distributed generation systems to wholesale, rather than retail, rates."
