Big Dog Solar Experience Across the Mountain West

About Big Dog

Big Dog Solar brings long-running energy and solar experience to homeowners and organizations across the Mountain West. In this quick conversation, Mitch describes the company's history and regional work in Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Colorado.

Solar projects are shaped by local utilities, permitting offices, weather, buildings, and customer goals. A company with regional teams can apply shared technical experience while keeping project coordination close to the communities it serves.

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.
