Local electrical services in Reno, Nevada
Aspen Home Services does solar in Reno the way it should be done. We are licensed electricians, not a sales-only outfit. The same local team designs your system. We handle the NV Energy connection, pull the permits, and come back if you need service.
Solar in Reno changed in late 2025, and the math is not what most websites still claim. Below we explain what is true today. Then we point you to the right service for your home, whether that is a new install or repair for a system you already own.
This area gets a lot of sun. The area sees more than 250 sunny days a year, so panels here produce well. The savings question is the part that needs an honest answer.
NV Energy serves Reno through Sierra Pacific Power. The rule that matters is when you applied for solar.
If you applied for rooftop solar before October 1, 2025, your system is still credited on monthly net metering. If you apply on or after that date, the new rule is different. It credits your exported power in 15-minute windows, not monthly. NV Energy itself has estimated this adds about $11 to a solar customer’s monthly bill and stretches the payback period.
This rule is in effect, but it is being challenged in court. The Nevada Attorney General’s Bureau of Consumer Protection and the group Vote Solar both filed cases. An appeal is now headed to the Nevada Supreme Court. We watch the status closely, so we can size your system for the rules that apply on the day you connect.
One point we want to clear up. NV Energy’s new daily demand charge applies to Southern Nevada only. It does not apply in Reno. If a quote mentions a demand charge for your Reno home, that is a red flag.
Permitting runs through the City of Reno, the City of Sparks, or Washoe County, depending on your address. In master-planned areas, an HOA approval is common too. We handle both, so you are not chasing paperwork.
We keep things simple. There are two main reasons people come to us for solar, plus two add-ons that pair with both.
New systems designed for your real NV Energy usage and the current netting rules. We handle the design, the building department, HOA approval where needed, and the NV Energy connection. See our solar panel installation page for the full process.

With 15-minute netting, stored power is worth more than it used to be. Power you use yourself is worth more than power you export. We can add a battery now, or wire your system so a battery drops in later. We also install standby generators when backup power matters more than storage.

If an electric vehicle is in your future, we can plan panel capacity and circuits now. That makes adding a charger later quick and clean.

The installer ghosted after the sale and stopped answering calls.
The system quietly stopped exporting to NV Energy, and the bill climbed.
The savings never showed up, because the system was undersized or oversold.
A battery was promised but never installed.
A lot of solar in Nevada is sold by companies that subcontract the actual electrical work and then move on. We are the electricians. NV Energy requires a Nevada licensed electrical contractor for grid-tied systems and for incentivized battery storage. That is exactly what we are.
We do the wiring, the panel work, and the connection ourselves. So we own the whole result. If your panel needs more capacity for solar and storage, we handle that too. And when you call after the install, you reach the same local company, not a national call center.
It also means one company is accountable for the whole system. If a panel breaker, the inverter wiring, or the NV Energy connection has a problem later, you are not stuck between a solar salesperson and a separate electrician pointing fingers. You call us.
There is no honest sticker price for solar, because every roof and every NV Energy bill is different. Cost comes down to system size, your roof, your panel, and whether you add a battery.
On the hub level, here is the short version. We size the system to your real usage, not to a sales target. Our solar panel installation page walks through the full pricing breakdown and the battery question in detail.
