Solar in Boulder City
It can be, but Boulder City works differently from the rest of the valley. The city runs its own electric utility, powered mostly by Hoover Dam and Glen Canyon hydropower, so NV Energy's solar rules don't apply here. The city limits system size to your past usage and credits extra solar at its wholesale cost, so we design your system to cover what your home actually uses.
Net metering
Boulder City's electric utility sets its own net metering policy. Here's how it works for homes in 2026.
The city caps residential systems at 80% of your yearly usage, based on the past three years of bills. We pull your usage history and design to that limit.
Solar that offsets your usage each month cuts your bill directly. Any extra is credited at the city's average wholesale energy cost, which is reset twice a year. Credits can't pay the customer charge, have no cash value, and expire after 12 months.
Your net metering agreement must be filed with Boulder City Public Works before a building permit is issued, and the city witnesses your system's commissioning.
Based on Boulder City's net metering and alternative energy policies as of October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm current terms with the city for your home in your quote.
Incentives
In Boulder City, the value of solar comes from using what you produce, not from rebates or tax credits.
Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.
Nevada doesn't have a state income tax, so there's no state solar tax credit. Your savings come from lower Boulder City utility bills.
Boulder City doesn't offer a solar rebate, and NV Energy's incentive programs don't apply to city utility customers. The city doesn't charge a utility application fee for net metering.
The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-purchased systems on December 31, 2025. If you'd rather not pay upfront, ask about our no-upfront-cost monthly battery program.
Battery storage
Because extra solar is credited at wholesale, the solar you store and use yourself is worth more than the solar you send back.
Store midday solar for the evening instead of sending the extra back for a wholesale credit.
With system size tied to your past usage, a battery helps the solar you can install go to work in your home instead of the grid.
Keep the fridge, lights and AC essentials running during summer outages.
How it works
We review your Boulder City utility bills, roof and goals, then design a system within the city's size limit.
We file your net metering agreement with Public Works, then handle the Boulder City building permit and any HOA paperwork.
One accountable team installs your system, supported by our Las Vegas office.
After the city inspection and witnessed commissioning, your system is approved to operate, and we help you set up monitoring.

See what our customers are saying
"I have to say that The Hydra Crew from Icon Power did an absolutely amazing job with our solar installation. They are very friendly and extremely hard workers with attention to detail... they made the magic happen. It's like artwork. They were very clean throughout the process and the product and service they provided is top notch."
"Jordan and his team made the process super easy. They reconfigured some of our existing solar and they added a Tesla battery so we could maximize our utility savings. They handled all the permits... If you are on the fence about solar or a battery — schedule a meeting and they will show you the numbers. You won't regret it."
"Icon showed up within a week with two technicians who were absolutely incredibly awesome!... Icon customer service were top notch and efficient in getting back to me within 24 hours... I am so impressed with Icon Solar that I cannot even express my gratitude... They get 10 stars!"
"This is the 4th solar system I have installed over the years, and Icon Power (Jordan especially) has been Excellent. They were fast, well communicated, instant to respond to any question... I have never experienced such a great install that was very quick, and their lease-to-own option was a great deal reducing the cost."
"Polite, Professional, Proficient. From the initial sales contact, complete with full explanation of time line/benefits/cost options to professional, rapid install to frequent timeline updates and onsite checkups, Icon Power provides you, the customer, with the care and attention that truly makes you a part of the entire project."
"It's unusual these days to work with someone who does great work, for a fair price and in a timely manner, but Icon Power does that and more. We needed them to install an EV charging station and couldn't be happier with the results."
"I have done many solar and other home projects in my life time, this by all means was clear, professional, swift and DONE. Definitely a five stars performance... Awesome work. Strongly recommended."
"Cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Ramone and the Hydra crew. Extremely conscientious, knowledgeable and dedicated. Making sure everything was done safely and accurately... We are much safer now than we were before they showed up. Again highly recommended. You will not go wrong."
"Icon Power was great to work with. Shawn and his crew were fabulous for the install. They ensured we had an install done right, the first time, and didn't have ugly silver conduit running across our roof... they worked with me and around my schedule and had us connected and ready for inspections and the PTO quickly!"
Answers on the city utility, system size limits, batteries and permits in Boulder City.
It can be. Because Boulder City credits extra solar at wholesale and limits system size to your past usage, the best value comes from a right-sized system that covers what your home actually uses, often paired with a battery. We run the numbers on your own bills before you decide.
No. Boulder City runs its own electric utility, so NV Energy's net metering rules and its new daily demand charge don't apply. Your solar falls under the city's own net metering policy.
The city caps home systems at 80% of your yearly usage, based on the past three years. Larger systems, above 10 kW on single-phase service, have extra requirements. We pull your usage history and size your system to fit.
You don't need one, but it helps. Extra solar earns only a wholesale credit, so storing it for the evening gets more value from your system, and a battery keeps essentials running during outages.
No. Nevada has no state income tax, so there's no state solar tax credit, and Boulder City doesn't offer a solar rebate. The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) also ended for homeowner-purchased systems on December 31, 2025. Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.
Your net metering agreement must be filed with Boulder City Public Works before the building permit is issued, and final plans need a Nevada professional engineer's stamp. The city also witnesses commissioning. We handle each step for you.
