If you're in the market for solar power— a Nevada association is here to help


LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — If you’re in the market for solar power, help is out there so you don’t end up in a bad deal.

The new Nevada Solar Association (NSA) is up and running. The NSA is meant to be a resource for consumers seeking honest and ethical solar companies in the Silver State.

Channel 13’s Tricia Kean spoke with the CEO of Sol-Up, Steve Hamile, who is the new chairman of the NSA.

He said for solar companies to be a part of the NSA, they must operate in an ethical manner.

“We’d like to become— call it the good housekeeping seal of solar. You know that if somebody is a member of the Nevada Solar Association, they abide by a code of ethics, they sign an ethical pledge, they’re abiding by all the rules and regulations and they have a brick and mortar,” Hamile said.

But then, do your homework even further. Unfortunately, it’s complicated. The Nevada State Contractors Board handles construction defects. And the Attorney General’s office handles complaints for deceptive trade practices, so we’ve decided as an organization, it will be the middleman. If there is an issue of the consumer has an issue or complaint, bring it to us.

In September, we spoke to the Bureau of Land Management who said they are revamping its policy for industrial solar development on public land in the West:

LETTER: Let’s consider how much growth Southern Nevada can accomodate

LETTER: Let’s consider how much growth Southern Nevada can accomodate


Neither of the authors of “Homesteading 2.0” (Dec. 15 Review-Journal) lives in Nevada. Yet, they believe they are qualified to advocate for increased development of our public lands.

To date, much new development has focused on luxury housing and green energy projects, rather than the need for affordable housing. While the authors acknowledge our successful conservation efforts, they fail to mention that current residents are being heavily regulated by the water authority, facing penalties, and pressured to reduce water usage. Lawns are being replaced with desert landscaping, and ongoing development to accommodate growth is contributing to the urban heat island effect. This growth has led to more congested roadways, wildlife encroaching into urban areas due to habitat loss and reduced access to recreational spaces that residents once enjoyed.

One of the defining features of Las Vegas was the open space surrounding the valley, which has long been a unique advantage of living in the Southwest. We must carefully consider how much growth we are willing to support moving forward.
