Since 2011, Whole Sun Designs Inc. has been a trusted partner to local residents and businesses in southern Indiana and the surrounding region with honest, personal service and high-quality components. As of 2018, we have installed over 200 projects totaling over 1 MW of clean, green solar power.

A SMART INVESTMENT

With rising utility costs and the falling price of solar panels, solar energy is more affordable than ever. Systems typically pay for themselves in less than 10 years while solar panels are warrantied for 25 years. As soon as we turn your system on, you begin to see immediate savings.

ENERGY INDEPENDENCE

In southern Indiana, the cost of electricity can have a major impact on living expenses. Whether you're on the verge of retirement or trying to save for your child's college tuition, solar energy allows you to fix your electricity costs for the next 30 years. By locking in those expenses today, you free up your cashflow for tomorrow's adventures.

PROVEN, RELIABLE TECHNOLOGY

The solar industry is very dynamic. Through our extensive experience and continuous evaluation, we balance tried and true technology with cutting edge innovations. We design systems to be simple, efficient, and maintenance free in order to provide you with decades of reliable energy production.

SUSTAINABLE ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

Feel good knowing that you are leading in the transition to clean energy. By investing in solar power, you are voting for a better future for our community and our children. To date, our fleet of installed systems has offset well over 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide - the equivalent of preserving 7 acres of US forests!

WHAT MAKES A GOOD SOLAR SITE?

The ideal site for a solar array in southern Indiana is a south facing roof pitched at about 32Ëš. The site should have little or no shading and be close to the electric meter for the property. However, roof pitch can vary from flat to 45Ëš and panels can be mounted on east or west facing roof. Solar arrays can also be mounted on the ground if roof space is unavailable.

TYPES OF SYSTEMS

Whole Sun Designs Inc. has worked on a wide variety of solar power systems including: solar electric (with or without batteries), solar thermal, passive solar home design, and hydronic/radiant flooring heating systems. While we have the ability to work on a wide variety of designs, our focus is on grid-tied solar electric/PV systems for residential and light commercial. By focusing on what we do best, we can provide personal service and fine craftsmanship to ensure maximum production of your system for years to come.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Energy efficiency is the first step in bringing down your utility bills. Simple tasks such as changing light bulbs to LED’s, adding pipe insulation and an insulation blanket to a hot water heater, and caulking windows can be accomplished by anyone with basic handy(wo)man skills. Other tasks such as adding attic or wall insulation, upgrading appliances and HVAC equipment, and replacing windows may need to be contracted out to professional. Either way, these are good investments for energy savings. Task of the Month programs are coming to encourage group efforts in energy efficiency.
