CARSON CITY — One of the largest rooftop-solar companies in the nation announced Wednesday it is ceasing its sales and installations in Nevada following the adoption of a new net metering rate for rooftop-solar customers by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission.
"This is a very difficult decision but Governor (Brian) Sandoval and his PUC leave us no choice," said SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive. "The people of Nevada have consistently chosen solar, but yesterday their state government decided to end customer choice, damage the state's economy, and jeopardize thousands of jobs.
"The PUC has protected NV Energy's monopoly, and everyone else will lose," he said. "We have no alternative but to cease Nevada sales and installations, but we will fight this flawed decision on behalf of our Nevada customers and employees."
The company will continue to service its existing Nevada customers.
