Bill > SB379

This bill proposes comprehensive regulations for distributed generation systems (typically solar installations) in Nevada, focusing on protecting consumers and establishing clear standards for solar installation companies, financiers, and lead generators. The bill imposes various requirements on distributed generation system financiers, including prohibiting deceptive practices, limiting fees, and mandating specific disclosures in agreements. Key provisions include requiring financiers to verify a solar installation company's proper licensing, restricting payment to installation companies until the system is operational or grid-connected, and establishing consumer protections such as the right to rescind agreements within 3-10 business days depending on the customer's age. The bill also introduces stricter rules for lead generators, requiring them to collect only basic customer information and prohibiting them from advertising through electronic media. Additionally, the legislation mandates detailed disclosures about system performance, warranties, potential financial impacts, and transfer options in all agreements. Violations of these provisions are classified as deceptive trade practices and consumer fraud, with the goal of preventing misleading sales tactics and ensuring transparency in the distributed generation system market.
