Being a mom can feel a little like being a superhero — and in this Big Dog Solar video, preparedness is the ultimate superpower.
Carol explains that going solar has helped her family feel more prepared and more in control of their home energy. With solar panels and the right battery backup setup, homeowners may be able to keep important parts of the home powered during certain grid outages while also reducing reliance on utility electricity.
Then neighbor Frank shows up and notices the new “solar panel thingamajigs” on the roof. After learning what they do, he quickly decides he doesn’t want to be the last house in the neighborhood without solar.
The playful exchange highlights some of the reasons homeowners consider solar: greater energy control, fewer surprises from changing utility costs, and the option to add battery storage for backup power.
Big Dog Solar helps homeowners explore solar and battery solutions designed around their property, energy usage, and goals.

“Hi, Carol.”
“Oh, hey, Frank.”
“Are those those fancy solar panel thingamajigs up there? I’ve only seen those in the movies.”
“Yes, Frank. Those are our new Big Dog Solar panels.”
“With our solar and backup system, we can be better prepared when the grid goes down.”
“So, fewer surprises.”
“Unlike this little surprise right here.”
“So they’re not just for decoration?”
“I’m starting to think I’m the only one without these pretty little panels of power production.”
“I’ve got to get some of those before my house turns into the neighborhood fossil.”
“You better hop on that, Frank.”
“Don’t want to be the last one in the neighborhood stuck in the 20th century, do you?”
“You’re right, Carol.”
“Time to bring my house into the future before the Joneses beat me to it.”
“Thanks a lot for the tip, Captain Solar.”

Thinking about going solar in 2025? In this video we break down every real-world advantage and drawback of installing solar panels this year—updated for today’s prices, incentives, battery tech, and utility-rate realities.

The familiar homeowner tax credit changed, but this video explains a Big Dog Solar program intended to deliver comparable upfront value through a business-side structure. Mitch outlines the lease-and-buyout concept and why customers must verify current terms and availability.

Electricity bills can rise even when a household's usage barely changes. This video explains how growing grid demand and infrastructure investment can contribute to higher utility rates—and how home solar may reduce exposure to those increases.
