Solar design and permitting in Las Vegas requires compliance with Clark County's electrical and structural review processes, including adherence to NEC Article 690 standards for photovoltaic installations. Projects must submit system designs, load calculations, and equipment specifications through the County's Citizen Access Portal, with rooftop panels restricted from extending beyond the highest roofline per Las Vegas municipal code. Commercial installations exceeding 600 volts AC/DC or 800 amperes necessitate Nevada-licensed electrical engineer approval, while all systems must meet International Fire Code (IFC) clearance requirements maintaining 18-inch perimeters along roof edges. NV Energy's interconnection process mandates IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 compliance through their Rule 15 tariff framework, typically requiring two to six weeks for permission to operate (PTO) after final inspection. Systems qualify for Nevada's net metering program under Senate Bill 387, providing tiered compensation rates starting at 75% of retail electricity rates for new solar customers.
