Indiana experiences a humid continental climate with cold winters, hot humid summers, and sharp seasonal transitions that produce frequent thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes. Snow and freeze cycles concentrate exterior work between April and October, and expansive clay soils across the central till plain require careful foundation drainage. For solar battery storage projects specifically, this means timing and material selection are key factors in both cost and quality.
Lower labor costs and a favorable cost of living keep home improvement pricing competitive in this state.
Indiana has no state-level general contractor license, trade-specific licenses (plumbing, HVAC) are issued by the state while GC licensing is city-level, verify locally
