Thinking about rooftop solar? Here’s what Nevada seniors need to know: 

Buying vs Leasing: 
• Buying panels: you own them, qualify for tax credits, and increase home value. 
• Leasing panels: lower upfront cost but no ownership. 
 
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): 
• You buy solar energy at a fixed rate without owning panels. 
• Can save money but limits benefits of ownership. 
 
Consumer Protections in Nevada: 
• Licensed contractors required by law. 
• Contracts must be clear and transparent. 
• Performance guarantees and cancellation rights are protected. 
 
Checklist – Questions to Ask: 
• Is my contractor licensed? 
• What happens if I sell my home? 
• What guarantees are in writing? 
• Who do I call if something goes wrong?
