Bone Dry Solar emerged from a foundation that few solar installers can claim: more than three decades of roofing excellence in Indianapolis, IN. When founder Gene Judd started Bone Dry Roofing in a modest Speedway, Indiana garage in 1989, he built a reputation one roof at a time, eventually growing the family business into one of the largest residential roofing companies in the Midwest. That same commitment to craftsmanship and customer service now powers Bone Dry Solar, launched in 2022 to bring Indianapolis homeowners a trusted path to solar energy. The decision to expand into solar installation wasn’t just about adding another service—it was about solving a problem that Indiana homeowners face daily. With utility rates climbing and energy independence becoming more than a buzzword, Bone Dry Solar offers residential and commercial solar panel systems designed for real Midwestern conditions. Based at 7735 Winton Drive in Indianapolis, the company serves homeowners throughout Indiana and Ohio, bringing solar expertise backed by decades of understanding how roofs, weather, and home systems work together. What sets this solar installer in Indianapolis apart is the integration of roofing knowledge into every solar project. The company understands that a solar installation is only as good as the roof beneath it, which is why their teams coordinate closely to assess structural integrity before a single panel goes up. Bone Dry Solar provides comprehensive services including roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar arrays, off-grid systems, battery storage solutions, solar panel repair, and ongoing maintenance. For homeowners concerned about roof warranty issues—a common solar adoption barrier—working with a company that handles both roofing and solar installation in Indiana eliminates that friction entirely. Bone Dry Solar is family-owned and operated, with the same leadership that earned Bone Dry Roofing the 2023 Residential Roofing Contractor of the Year award from Roofing Contractor Magazine. The company offers a 10-year workmanship warranty on solar installations, and they provide free system monitoring to catch production issues before they impact energy bills. Financing options are available for various budgets, and the team guides customers through incentives including the 30% federal solar tax credit that runs through 2032. They’re also BBB Accredited and have earned Advanced Installer status on EnergySage, placing them among the top solar companies in Indiana for responsiveness and customer satisfaction. For Indianapolis homeowners who remember when solar felt like a gamble, Bone Dry Solar offers something different: local accountability, roofing expertise, and a track record that stretches back more than 35 years. The company serves residential and commercial clients, with experience installing systems on single-family homes, warehouses, schools, and manufacturing facilities across Indiana and Ohio. Whether you’re looking to offset rising energy costs, charge an electric vehicle, or simply take control of your power bill, Bone Dry Solar approaches every consultation with a customer-first attitude, providing detailed roadmaps to the home solar solution that makes sense for your property and goals.
