At Big Dog Solar, “work hard, play hard” is more than just a saying.
In this behind-the-scenes video, the Big Dog Solar team heads to Island Park for an employee lake day filled with sunshine, time outdoors, and a chance to relax together away from the job.
The goal of days like this is simple: build stronger relationships, create friendships, and give the team time to enjoy being around one another. Employees share that Big Dog regularly puts together activities like lake days and other events designed to bring people together.
The video also highlights the company’s focus on taking care of both employees and customers. Whether it’s organizing team outings or finding ways to give back to customers and the community, the people in the video describe Big Dog as a company that genuinely cares.
It’s a quick look at the culture behind Big Dog Solar — a team that works hard together and knows how to have a little fun along the way.
Today’s how we play.
This is like our “work hard, play hard” day.

Everybody likes hanging out with each other and just having a lot of fun.
We always try to do a lake day to build unity and friendship.
That’s the fun part about working with Big Dog. They do this kind of stuff all the time — employee lake days, giving stuff away to customers.
They genuinely care.
