What to Expect When Going Solar With Big Dog Solar

About Big Dog

A well-managed solar project should feel clear from the first estimate through design, permitting, installation, and support. This video explains Big Dog Solar's emphasis on an in-house process, property-specific design, and straightforward communication.

Solar is not a one-size-fits-all product. Usage, roof layout, shade, utility rules, electrical equipment, financing, and homeowner goals all shape the final system.

The installer should explain those decisions and coordinate the administrative work rather than leaving the homeowner to chase permits or utility forms. Long-term service and written warranty terms complete the process after permission to operate.

Mitch: Three things nobody tells you about going solar until you've already signed. But with Big Dog Solar, we're telling you everything up front. First, most companies outsource the entire process, but we handle it all inhouse since 2006. It starts with our instant online quote that takes 2 minutes, not 2 days.

Then, our team creates a custom design specifically for your home, not some cookie cutter template. We handle all permits and paperwork ourselves, so you're never left wrestling with local regulations. The installation is done by our own certified team, not some random subcontractor. This matters because homes with solar panels typically see an increase in resale value.

Plus, our systems can save you tens of thousands over their lifespan. Basically eliminating a huge payment for years to come. And environmentally, you're reducing carbon emissions equivalent to planting hundreds of trees annually. Going solar with Big Dog isn't just buying panels.

It's getting a local partner who's there from day one through decades of support. Because solar should be simple, transparent, and handled by people who actually care about your energy future.
