LAS VEGAS, May 1, 2014 -- SolarCity(r) (Nasdaq:SCTY) is

launching its solar service in Nevada for the first time. The nation's
largest solar power provider will make it possible for many Las Vegas area
homeowners to install solar panels for free and pay less for solar
electricity than they pay for electricity from the local utility. SolarCity
can allow Nevada homeowners to go solar for as little as $30 per month, with
design, installation, financing, insurance, monitoring and a performance
guarantee included.

SolarCity will begin taking the first orders from Nevada homeowners today.
The company will participate in NV Energy's SolarGenerations Program, which
is currently expected to reopen in August. SolarCity expects to begin
installing at the end of October and will accommodate customers on a
first-come, first-served basis. The company will initially serve customers
of NV Energy in the greater Las Vegas Area, including the cities of Las
Vegas, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Winchester, Paradise, Henderson and
Boulder City.
