Yes, the Federal Tax Credit increased to 30%. This means you will receive 30% of the total system cost back as a tax credit. An additional 10% can be added to the tax credit if they qualify for the domestically sourced goods portion of the bill.
Yes, we offer financing options for any budget. Speak to your Bone Dry Solar representative for more information.
Well-installed solar panels should never cause a roof leak. Engineers consider structural soundness and roof integrity when proposing, designing, and installing an array. Solar products are warrantied as is our work.
Bone Dry Solar offers a 10 Year Workmanship Warranty to our customers. Additionally, most inverters have a 10 year warranty (with the option to upgrade to a 25 year warranty), and panels and racking systems typically carry a 25 year warranty.
Yes, we are able to install ground and roof mount arrays for commercial properties like warehouses, schools, manufacturing facilities, etc.
Solar panels do work on cloudy days, just not as effectively as they would on a sunny day. Expect them to produce 10-25% of their normal power output, depending on the thickness of cloud cover.
No. Net metering went away July 1, 2022. Although some utilities still offer a type of net metering or net billing, the 1 for 1 payback is no longer active. Bone Dry Solar will not sell a system producing more than 100%.
In 2022, the Indiana state legislature passed a law to protect the property rights of Hoosiers who want to go solar. The law provides a clear path for homeowners in restrictive HOAs to get approval from their neighbors to install solar panels.

There is a lot to consider when deciding whether to go solar, beyond the potential savings you could achieve. We’ll jumpstart your solar journey with a Bone Dry Solar consultation, which will discuss the available space, the location, position and look of your home or business, your budget, and any limitations or restrictions. Our services include roof and ground-mount solar arrays, off-grid solar arrays, solar repairs and maintenance (including an annual maintenance service program), battery back-up and energy storage. We look forward to customizing a solution that fits your needs.

So grateful

I love my solar array and storage battery. Inevitably I am the one with lights on despite storms darkening the homes surrounding me. When a storm took the grid down for several days, I still had power, because the system anticipated the storm and topped off from the grid before the loss of power. As the storms seem to be increasing, I am delighted that I have power! And, although net metering is not an option, I have not paid for any electricity from the grid since my system was installed. Whole Sun, now a part of Bone Dry, gave me the estimate I was looking for that included a storage battery. They worked with me to find a reasonable solution to placement when Indiana Landmarks would not let me place the panels where they would be visible from the street. They communicated with me, when there were scheduling or weather issues that altered the estimated installation. They worked efficiently and effectively. When my Tesla Powerwall stopped connecting and giving me data, the boss was Johnny-on-the-spot to interface with Tesla to correct the problem. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience. If I could give at least a dozen stars, I would!

Good Service and responses

I scheduled a meeting with their sales rep and got a very thorough and in depth explanation from the company's top guy. It seems like they really know what they're doing. The sales rep was nice and willing to answer all of my questions as well throughout the process. Solar is not right for us at this time, but if we decide to in the future, I will definitely consider Bone Dry Solar.

Don't use or Prepare to Micromanage

Responding to Gene Judd's request for review. Replaced roof, added insulation, and installed solar all at same time in attempt to minimize roof disruption. I discussed that teams would need to coordinate in order to maintain roof integrity and minimize home exterior disruption. Had to move exhausts to maximize space for solar panels. Solar team moved pipes but didn't meet roofing team standards. Had to reinstall. Insulation team installed insulation without checking with solar team's requirements for running conduit. Solar team then didn't want to penetrate insulation. So I was stuck with ugly conduit on side of home. Solar team installed tracks, then found out that solar panels were 2 inches bigger than calculated by Bone Dry engineers. So had to reduce size of installation, which reduces the economic value of the system. Inverters were not working yesterday. Today, Tesla inverters popped 5-6 times with firecracker sounds. Early 4th of July! We're waiting for Tesla to troubleshoot the problems. So, Mr. Judd, I would not use Bone Dry again. Future customers, be prepared to micromanage and Karen the installation. Let's see what the Bone Dry installation guarantee and Owens Corning warranty is worth.

Successful removal and reinstall of solar panels

We purchased a home that needed a new roof but had an existing solar panel system that we wanted to keep. We used RCV Roofing in Bloomington for the roof replacement, and as part of the Bone Dry family, they referred us to Bone Dry Solar to remove and reinstall the panels. We had a large system but they were able to remove the system in half a day, and then reinstall on the new roof in one day. Jay was friendly and helpful throughout the process. The system came back on line immediately with no performance issues. We’re very happy with the job.

Highly Recommend Bone Dry

Working with Bone Dry Solar has been nothing but a positive experience from the start. The initial consultation was extremely thorough, helping us understand how we could best meet our electrical needs with solar. Once we decided to move forward with Solar, Bone Dry installed our system in a timely fashion. The installation crew was professional and friendly answering any questions we had along the way. I would highly recommend using Bone Dry Solar

Solar Install ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I worked with Jay Sanders to develop a solar system. From start to finish he was invested in making sure I had the best experience possible. He was very knowledgeable and very responsive to my needs! I would highly recommend Jay Sanders with Bone Dry for any solar needs!
