If someone wants to use NV Energy assets (power plants, transmission lines, etc) at night they DO in fact need to pay their fair share of the cost to build, maintain, and operate those assests. For most of the US, the cost of electricity itself is probably about half of the bill. The other half is for the grid infrastructure and operational costs.
If someone doesn't want to pay NVE energy grid access fees, they always have the option to disconnect the NVE line to their home. Of course, they would have to pay to put in a battery storage system to handle their load at night and during the parts of the day when their panels aren't generating enough power for their load. They would probably also have to put in more panels, since they would have to generate the all the extra electricity needed to charge the batteries.
