Alternative Energy Nevada: Incentives to Install Solar Panels in NV
An energy bill designed to encourage energy efficiency and boost the usage of alternative energy by Nevada's utilities was one of the last bills approved by lawmakers before they adjourned their special session.
The measure directs the Nevada Commission on Economic Development to approve a fifty percent property tax reduction for up to ten years to owners who have buildings that meet energy conservation standards.
Under the bill, alternative energy systems such as PV solar panels and home wind energy turbines are exempt from sales taxes.
Installers of photovoltaic solar panel systems, which convert sunlight into electricity, will need to be licensed.
The measure also allows Nevada Power and Sierra Pacific Power to get energy credits for energy efficiency programs that can be used to meet part of their alternative energy requirements under the state's renewable energy portfolio law.

Alternative energy gear is expensive because it is new technology and the market is not so big... yet. You have to offer financial incentives for getting into green-e or people will feel they are wasting their cash.
But even with the incentives, it will will be mostly well-off people that can afford to make a change. However, once more people start investing in the new technology, prices will drop; this is inevitable. Sooner or later, green-e will be available to all. In fact, it will be the only option.
Hello. Didn't see spot for a trackback ping. Nice blog you have, perhaps my link will encourage some to visit. Excerpt:
... New geothermal technologies do not negate the overall need for investing in energy conservation on Shabbat. ... this may be a good opportunity for a solar energy entrepreneur. (38b-39a) Rabbinic law restricts fossil fuels yet makes a special exemption for solar energy technologies.
YESTERDAY I READ THAT A 100 SQUARE MILE PATCH OF DESERT FILLED WITH THERMOELECTRIC SOLOR PANALS COULD PRODUCE ENOUGH POWER TO RUN THE US
WHAT WAS BEING WAITED FOR WAS A CONTRACT WITH A BIG ELECTRIC COMPANY,,,,WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO COMMENT OF THIS NEW SYSTEM WHICH IS ACTULLAY 100 YEARS OLD
It is far past time for the state
of N.C. to admitt to the
OVER
PRODUCTION OF ELECTRICITY BURNING
UP CITIES AND TOWNS AND NOT LETTING
THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT SOLAR HAS BEEN
CONNECTED TO THE OLD ELECTRIC GRID
ENGINEERS WARNED CONGRESS NOT TO FOR TWO YEARS . THE LOVE OF MONEY
MAKING WAS VOTED IN OVER THE SAFETY
OF PEOPLE . N.C. and other states are in extreme danger because of
not safely making the right choses .
