NV SB440

Unit owners in homeowners associations may request to install distributed generation systems (solar), with associations required to approve or deny requests within 35 days (or 15 days for resubmissions); requests are automatically approved if no response is given within the deadline

HOAs may adopt installation rules requiring solar panels not face the street (if production loss is under 10%), conduits be painted to match exteriors, batteries stored in garages, and inverters placed out of view, but cannot require compliance with rules costing more than 3% of installation costs

Solar installation companies must provide recordings of customer communications within 10 business days upon request from customers, financiers, or government agencies, or the agreement becomes voidable; companies must also prove proper licensing before installation begins

Power purchase agreements are voidable for 3 years if the solar company was not properly licensed at signing, and all solar agreements must include new disclosures about company location, compliance status, and whether the salesperson is a company employee

Public utilities must complete net metering system inspections and process disconnection/reconnection requests within reasonable timelines set by the Public Utilities Commission, and must provide written reasons for any application denials
