Understanding Solar Costs in Las Vegas for Trade Professionals

In Las Vegas, solar installation costs can vary significantly based on several factors. As of 2025, the average cost for a solar system ranges from $10,500 to $32,000 after tax credits. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of these costs, helping construction professionals accurately estimate and plan for solar projects.

Key Factors Influencing Solar Costs

1. System Size and Capacity

System size is a primary cost driver. Larger homes typically require systems between 8-12 kW, impacting overall expenses.

2. Roof Complexity

Complex roof designs, such as multi-facet or tile roofs, increase labor costs due to additional mounting requirements.

3. Equipment Quality

Opting for premium 400 W modules and micro-inverters can raise initial costs but offer higher lifetime output.

4. Permitting and Interconnection

Municipal fees vary across Clark County, affecting total project costs.

5. Labor Availability

High demand during summer months can lead to temporary price increases.

Current Price Ranges (After Tax Credit)

  • Small 4-6 kW system: $10,500 – $15,000
  • Standard 7-10 kW system: $15,500 – $24,000
  • Large 11-15 kW system: $24,000 – $32,000
