They looked at my power bill and told me how many panels they would install and that they would only bill me $83 dollars a month. My wife and I did that math, and we said okay. After everything was installed and up and running, they sent me an email that said my monthly bill would only be $63 a month instead of the $83. I said, &#8220;Great&#8221;.

Indiana\u2019s recent trend offers useful context.<\/p><p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Indiana\u2019s average residential rate increased from 13.4\u00a2 per kWh in 2021 to 14.8\u00a2 in 2024, about 10%. It remained below the U.S. average in each year shown.<\/p><p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">A rooftop solar system can generate electricity at home, reducing the amount a household needs to buy from its utility. The impact depends on system output, energy use, and utility billing rules.<\/p><p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">For homeowners who purchase a system, producing power over many years may help offset future utility costs.

Customers pay their normal rate for electricity drawn from the grid, while eligible excess electricity is credited at a utility-specific rate calculated under Indiana\u2019s statutory formula. The credit is generally a bill credit, not a cash payment, and rates and tariff details vary by utility and can change.<\/p><p>EDG applies to qualifying customer-owned generation; this compensation applies only to systems you purchase and own. Because exported power is generally credited below the retail rate, using solar electricity at home as it is generated can be more valuable than exporting it. Get utility interconnection approval and check the current tariff before installation.<\/p><p>Eligible legacy systems may retain net metering under transition rules: qualifying systems installed before January 1, 2018, may remain until July 1, 2047, and qualifying systems installed from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2022, may remain until July 1, 2032, subject to applicable statutory and utility requirements. Municipal utilities and electric cooperatives may have different compensation rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n<button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n<span class=\"accordion-title\">PowerSave Indiana Solar and Battery Financing<\/span>\n<span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n<\/span>\n<\/button>\n<div class=\"accordion-content\">\n<p>PowerSave Indiana offers financing rather than a rebate or grant.

The rate may reach 30% when prevailing-wage and apprenticeship requirements are met; additional bonuses may apply in qualifying circumstances. This is a business\/project-owner tax provision, not a federal homeowner credit for a personal household system.<\/p><p>Eligibility and the amount depend on the project, owner, tax rules, and construction and placed-in-service dates. For solar facilities, the law includes a termination rule for certain projects placed in service after December 31, 2027, depending on when construction begins; energy storage is treated separately under that provision.

Plumbers are the only construction contractors licensed statewide; local governments may require licensing for electrical contractors and other contractors, and requirements vary by city or county. Ask the installer which company and crew will perform the electrical and construction work, then confirm applicable requirements with your city or county. The Indiana Professional Licensing Agency offers a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mylicense.in.gov\/eVerification\/Search.aspx\">professional-license lookup<\/a>, but it is not a statewide solar-contractor license registry.<\/p>\n<h3>Look for certified installers<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Ask who will design and install your system, and whether those people hold current <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nabcep.org\/\">NABCEP certifications<\/a>. These are professional credentials; ask what credential each person holds and what work it covers. Also ask about manufacturer certifications for the specific panels and inverters in your quote. They can indicate product-specific training or qualification, but do not replace any required local license. Compare the people and credentials behind each proposal, not just a company logo or a claim that its crew is \u201ccertified.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Compare quotes the same way<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Ask each installer to quote the same equipment and scope where possible, and get differences in writing. Compare:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>System size:<\/strong> DC capacity in kilowatts (kW), and the proposed panel and inverter brands and models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> total cash price and price per watt, plus any separate fees. If financing is offered, compare the total cost, monthly payment, and any escalator\u2014not just the advertised payment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Production:<\/strong> estimated electricity generation in kilowatt-hours per year (kWh\/year), and the assumptions behind the estimate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranties:<\/strong> panel product and performance, inverter, installer workmanship, and roof penetrations. Check the term, exclusions, and who you contact to make a claim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project responsibilities:<\/strong> who obtains permits, schedules inspections, and submits the interconnection application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Ask for the expected timeline and what could change it. For context, Palmetto reports a median installed system size of 6.8 kW and about 83 days from signing to installation; an individual project can differ.<\/p>\n<h3>Permits, interconnection and your HOA<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">For one- and two-family homes, the local government or building official is the inspection authority. Permit requirements vary, so confirm building and electrical permits with your local building department and ask which party will apply. The homeowner or installer applies to the electric utility for interconnection. Depending on your service area, that utility may be Duke Energy Indiana, AES Indiana, Northern Indiana Public Serv Co, or Indiana Michigan Power Co; verify which one serves your address and ask about its process. Municipal and cooperative utility requirements may differ, so confirm them directly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Indiana has a limited HOA solar statute, not a universal rule that voids every HOA restriction. Its applicability depends on the association and circumstances. Review your governing documents and ask the HOA in writing about its approval process before signing; have the installer identify any design or timing implications.<\/p>\n<h3>Red flags<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pressure to sign the same day or discouragement from comparing proposals.<\/li>\n<li>Unlicensed or out-of-state crews, or an installer unwilling to identify who will do the work. Confirm local requirements rather than assuming a statewide solar license exists.<\/li>\n<li>Vague production estimates without annual kWh figures or clear assumptions.<\/li>\n<li>A large upfront deposit without a clear written payment schedule and project milestones.<\/li>\n<li>A promise that a 2026 purchase qualifies for a homeowner federal tax credit. Homeowner credits ended December 31, 2025; do not rely on a salesperson\u2019s promise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.installer-guide-body h3 { font-size: var(--size-font-lg, 1.25rem); margin: 1.75rem 0 .5rem; }\n.installer-guide-body ul { margin: .5rem 0 1rem 1.25rem; }\n.installer-guide-body li { margin-bottom: .4rem; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"faq-section\" class=\"faq-section palmetto-incentives-section\">\n<div class=\"palmetto-section-container\">\n    <div class=\"section-number\">10<\/div>\n    <h2 class=\"palmetto-section-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n    \n    <div class=\"palmetto-incentives-accordions\">\n        <div class=\"incentive-accordion\">\n        <button class=\"accordion-trigger\">\n        <span class=\"accordion-title\">Does Evansville, IN have net metering?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"accordion-icon\">\n            <svg width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M4 6L8 10L12 6\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n        <\/span>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion-content\">\n            <p><b>Evansville does not offer traditional 1:1 net metering for most new solar installations.<\/b> Most qualifying systems use Indiana\u2019s Excess Distributed Generation (EDG) rules: CenterPoint Energy Indiana South credits eligible excess electricity at a utility-specific rate, typically below the retail electricity rate.<\/p><p>Some older qualifying systems may keep net metering under Indiana\u2019s grandfathering rules.
