Background: Distributed electric generation using Photovoltaic technology can play an important role in Nevada’s energy future. Even though each individual system is small, the combination of a large number of installations on homes, businesses, schools, and public buildings can reduce the demand at times of peak power consumption. Perhaps even more important, a large demand for these systems can create a “market pull” that will in turn create new, skilled jobs and even lead to the location of manufacturing and research and development related to the systems in the state. The purpose of this Program is to offer incentives through the RPS to accelerate the market demand and build public awareness of the benefits of PV systems.
