Why Silver State Incentives
Engineering over sales. Financial strategy over commodity equipment.
Why choose Silver State Incentives?
Silver State Incentives combines 14 years of specialized energy-efficiency experience with CFO-grade financial modeling and IPMVP-compliant verification.

The Veteran Advantage
Our consultants bring 14 years of specialized energy-efficiency experience across lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, EMS and incentives.

The Old Way vs. The Silver State Way
Efficiency is not a commodity purchase. It is a financial strategy.
The Old Way
We sell efficient lights and HVAC (commodity).

- FundingYour capital budget
- MetricPrice per fixture
- After installNobody checks the results
The Silver State Way
We secure utility capital to help pay for your infrastructure upgrades, lowering OpEx to immediately increase EBITDA (financial strategy).

- FundingNV Energy incentives offset project cost

Energy projects, modeled like capital investments
Most contractors quote equipment. We deliver an investment case: Savings-to-Investment Ratio (SIR), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net Present Value (NPV), payback and EBITDA impact. Every dollar of OpEx removed flows straight to EBITDA.
- SIR above 1.0 means the project returns more than it costs.
- IRR you can compare with your hurdle rate.
- Savings verified under IPMVP, not assumed.
300 high-bay fixtures (458 W to 150 W LED) plus networked controls, 4,380 hours per year, $0.10/kWh, $12/kW-month, $400 per installed high-bay and $85 per controlled fixture.
