Two Las Vegas residents with rooftop-solar systems have filed a class action lawsuit in Clark County District Court over the new net metering rate approved by the Public Utilities Commission that took effect Jan. 1.

John Bamforth and Stanley Schone filed the lawsuit against Nevada Power, part of NV Energy, alleging the utility provided false and/or incomplete information to the PUC on the net metering issue.
