As a Midwest state, Indiana is no stranger to snow: Its capital city, Indianapolis, gets an average of 25.5 inches yearly. But with all that snowfall, can Hoosier homes really gain from adding solar panels? You betcha!

Indiana receives an average of 4.2 peak hours of sunlight each day, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which is around average for the U.S. That means homeowners can still greatly benefit from adding solar panels to their homes and rack up savings on their electricity bills.

Not sure where to start? Forbes Home has compiled a list of the best solar panel installation companies in Indiana to help.

How to Determine Which Solar Panel Installation Company in Indiana Is Best for You

Finding the best solar company in Indiana for you requires doing a bit of research. Look into which companies in the area offer the services you need (i.e. specific types of solar panels you’re interested in or the type of financing you want).

Once you have a list of companies you’re interested in, you will want to look at aspects like their warranty coverage, qualifications, reputation and certifications. Looking into their online reviews is helpful, but once you’ve narrowed down your list, you should also always ask for references from previous customers.

Top Reasons to Hire a Solar Panel Installation Company in Indiana

Installing solar panels to your home has multiple benefits and is becoming increasingly affordable for the average homeowner. Here are several of the top reasons to hire a solar panel installation company in Indiana:

Cut Down Electricity Bills

Right now you rely on the grid for your electricity but installing solar can reduce your reliance and cut your electricity bills. When you start researching solar companies, ask them if they can help you calculate how much you can save on your bills and if they offer any performance guarantees.

Think Beyond Maintenance

For equipment that does so much, the upkeep is surprisingly simple. Solar panels last 25 to 30 years and typically all you need to do is just inspect and clean them every six months barring any severe weather.

Increase Your Curb Appeal

Adding solar panels to your home immediately raises your home’s curb appeal and resale value. In fact, every dollar a solar panel saves you on your electrical bills increases the value of your home by $20, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.. Plus many homebuyers seek out houses that already have solar installed.

Show Some Love to Planet Earth

Installing solar panels to your home means you have joined the millions who are doing their part for the environment and using natural sunlight for their energy needs. Using a renewable source of power helps cut down on greenhouse gasses and combat climate change.

Solar Incentives in Indiana

Solar can be initially expensive to install, so having solar incentives can really help offset those costs. Indiana happens to be a state that offers incentives beyond just the federal tax credit.

Tax Credits

The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit gives customers a credit toward their tax bill in the amount of 30% of their full system cost. This one-time tax credit is applicable during tax years 2022 through 2032 no matter your state.

Net Metering

Net metering in Indiana allows customers to get credits for any excess energy generated by their panels. These credits can be used to lower your utility bills. Unfortunately, net metering in the state was slashed in 2017, significantly lowering the rate at which customers were credited for excess energy. Additionally, Indiana is on a path to phase out net metering by 2047.

Other State-Specific Incentives

The Renewable Energy Property Tax Exemption in Indiana keeps the addition of a solar system from increasing your property taxes.

Indiana also waives all sales tax on all electrical-generating solar PV equipment including labor, inverters and batteries.
