Installation Steps

HOW WE INSTALL YOUR NEW SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM

Bone Dry Solar ensures a smooth and successful installation process for your solar panel roof mounts. Our goal is to provide you with a reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy solution tailored to your unique needs.

Consultation

Bone Dry Solar will meet with you to discuss your energy needs, budget, and goals. Next, we conduct a thorough site assessment to evaluate your property’s suitability for a rooftop solar system. Our experts will inspect your roof structure, condition, orientation, and shading. This assessment helps us determine the optimal placement and configuration of your solar panels to maximize energy production.

Design

Based on the site assessment, we create a custom solar design tailored to your property. Our design considers factors such as roof space, sun exposure, and energy consumption patterns. We use advanced software to model your system and provide a visual representation of how the panels will look on your roof.

Permitting

Our team handles all necessary permits and paperwork required for the installation of your solar power system. This includes applications for local building permits, utility interconnection agreements, and any applicable incentives or rebates. We streamline this process to ensure timely approvals and compliance with all regulations.

Installation

We begin by preparing the roof, ensuring it is ready to support the array. The panels are then securely mounted using a high-quality racking system designed for durability and weather resistance. Once the panels are in place, we install the inverters, wiring, and other necessary components to ensure your solar array functions seamlessly.

System Inspection and Activation

After installation, a final inspection is conducted to ensure everything meets our high standards and complies with local regulations. Once approved, we activate your system, and you can start generating clean, renewable energy. We provide a comprehensive walkthrough of your new solar array, explaining how to monitor performance and maintain efficiency.

Benefits

ROOF MOUNTED SOLAR ARRAYS VS. GROUND MOUNTED SOLAR PANELS

Choosing a rooftop solar system from Bone Dry Solar offers numerous advantages over ground-mounted systems, making them a practical and efficient choice for homes and businesses in Indianapolis, IN.

  • Space Efficiency: Roof-mounted solar arrays utilize existing roof space, making them an excellent choice for properties with limited ground area. By installing panels on your roof, you can save valuable yard or commercial space for other uses.
  • Cost-Effective Installation: Roof-mounted systems are typically less expensive to install compared to ground mounting systems. The infrastructure for roof mounts is often simpler and less labor-intensive, reducing overall installation costs.
  • Protection and Durability: Roof-mounted solar arrays can provide an extra layer of protection for your roof, shielding it from the elements and potentially extending its lifespan. Additionally, roof-mounted systems are generally less susceptible to damage from animals, debris, and human interference.
  • Aesthetics: Roof-mounted solar panels offer a streamlined and integrated look, blending seamlessly with the architecture of your home or business. Ground-mounted systems, on the other hand, can be more visually obtrusive and may require additional landscaping to conceal them.
  • Enhanced Security: Panels installed on the roof are less accessible to vandals and thieves compared to ground-mounted systems. This increased security can provide peace of mind, especially in areas prone to theft or vandalism.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SOLAR

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 your solar panels qualify for the domestically sourced goods portion of the bill. This applies to both commercial and residential and lasts until 2032.

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. Leaks should not be an issue as long as the panels are installed correctly.

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. Ask your Bone Dry Solar representative for more information.

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 on 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.

House Enrolled Act 1196 (or HEA 1196) protects anyone living in an HOA whose contract “prohibits, restricts, or limits the installation of solar energy systems by homeowners’ association members” or has unreasonably been denied a request to install solar panels. They can go through a two-step process to have their solar panels approved and then installed on their home.

If your HOA doesn’t prevent solar installations, nothing has changed for you. However, if you find yourself running up against prohibitions or restrictions on solar installations, this new law is for you! You can discuss this further with your Bone Dry Solar representative.
