Big Dog Solar's current installation hubs are in Boise and Pocatello, Idaho; Helena, Montana; and Grand Junction and Windsor, Colorado. The service-area page is the best place to confirm coverage for a specific address.

Interviewer: Hey, Mitch, how long has Big Dog been in business and installing solar?
Mitch: Oh, well, Big Dog actually started in 1999 and then started actually getting into energy and solar around 2006 and just kind of built its empire, if you will, over the last several years. Cover a lot of the mountain states, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, you know the drill. Anyway, if you have questions about solar and you're in those areas, just give us a call.

What does it really feel like to own a solar system with a battery backup?

Large data centers add substantial new demand to the same regional grids that serve homes and businesses. Mitch explains why that growth can influence future utility costs and how homeowners can begin with solar now while planning for batteries later.
