Lighting Nevada the Sustainable Way

Nevada, known for its expansive desert landscapes, bright skies, and fast-growing communities, is perfectly positioned to benefit from solar energy technologies. From the glowing nightlife of Las Vegas to the wide roads of Reno and the open highways of rural counties, reliable outdoor lighting is critical to public safety and infrastructure. But traditional grid-tied lighting comes with high costs and complications—especially in areas with limited utility access.

That’s where Greenshine New Energy steps in. With our solar-powered street lights and Mobile Solar Towers, we help Nevada cities, developers, and site managers light up streets, parks, and worksites—efficiently, affordably, and without a single watt from the grid.

Why Nevada is Ideal for Solar Lighting

With more than 250 sunny days per year and some of the highest solar irradiance levels in the U.S., Nevada is a solar energy powerhouse. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), southern Nevada ranks among the top regions in the country for solar viability. This makes it an ideal state to deploy solar-powered LED street lights and non-diesel light towers for temporary or mobile lighting needs.

Beyond solar potential, Nevada’s mix of densely populated cities and remote rural areas presents diverse lighting challenges—challenges that solar lighting is uniquely equipped to solve. With no trenching, no electrical wiring, and no monthly energy bills, Greenshine systems can be installed virtually anywhere, from new housing developments to highway rest stops.

Key Nevada Cities and Suggested Lighting Solutions

1. Las Vegas

Las Vegas is the economic and population heart of Nevada—and also one of the sunniest cities in the U.S. With sustainability goals in motion and constant development in suburbs and entertainment districts, it’s a prime city for solar lighting.

Incentives & Solar Programs in Nevada

Nevada offers multiple programs to support solar adoption:

1. NV Energy RenewableGenerations Program

This program offers performance-based incentives and rebates for solar installations, including commercial and municipal applications. While primarily for PV systems, solar lighting used in conjunction with broader solar projects may be eligible.

2. Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) Financing

PACE allows property owners to finance solar lighting upgrades through their property taxes with no upfront cost. Perfect for HOAs, private developers, and commercial properties.

3. Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

Solar lighting systems purchased for commercial use may qualify for the federal ITC, allowing up to 30% of system costs to be claimed as a tax credit.

4. Sales & Use Tax Abatement for Renewable Projects

Eligible solar projects in Nevada may receive partial or full exemption from state sales and use taxes—a significant cost-saving measure for larger municipal or industrial lighting deployments.
