Your renewable energy headquarters for mobile, remote and land-based applications.
Home Energy LLC has been helping people worldwide make use of the sun and wind’s inexhaustible sources of energy since 2000. We have designed and installed numerous grid-tied and off-grid renewable energy systems, including the Museum of Science and Industry exhibit Smart Home, colleges and universities, residential, and commercial.
Home Energy specializes in grid-tie and off-grid solar and wind systems, and battery back-up systems utilizing power inverters. We are a full service renewable energy contractor specializing in education, sales, installation and service.
Plus, Leon Bontrager, president of Home Energy, is one of only seven NABCEP certified installers in Indiana! North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is a national certification organization for professional installers in the field of renewable energy. Professional certification strengthens the solar industry, and raise your confidence, by establishing standards for installer qualifications, competence, training, and experience. It provides you with a standard by which to judge the qualifications of your contractor.
Home Energy worked with NIPSCO in Northern Indiana and AEP in Southern Michigan to install the first net metering solar systems in those areas, and subsequently helped both utilities create their net metering contracts.
