In this video, a couple shares why they decided to go solar. With their energy bills getting higher, they crunched the numbers and realized solar was the way to go. The installation was fast—just a week, with the only wait being for the inspector. With six kids, saving money was important, and while some months they generate extra power, they’re happy knowing they won’t face those big bills. They’ve also noticed more neighbors getting solar too. Plus, their panels blend in so well that most people don’t even notice them! Check out the video to see how solar can help you save too.

Speaker 1: So we go over the 700 kilowatts, and Rocky Mountain starts charging a lot more at that point. So I started doing the math and figuring it out and figured for us it made a lot of sense to do the solar.
[music]
S1: They showed up and did it within a week. Didn't take very long, we just had to wait for the inspector to show up.
Speaker 2: We just had talked about it and we have six kids, so we just wanted to save some money.
S1: We've had a few months that we've got more than we needed. A few months and we didn't get enough. We don't care if we have a little bit of a bill, we just wanna make sure we don't ever have to pay the higher bill.
[music]
S1: I think it's catching on in the area, I think a lot of people have started getting solar and telling their neighbors. I think most houses will have solar in about 10 years, new construction... California already passed a law, all new construction has to be zero energy homes. So, I think it's coming this way as well.
[music]
S1: Ours are on the back shop.
S2: Yeah, so you don't even see it.
S1: Most of our neighbors are like, "We didn't even know you had solar panels," so they blend in pretty good.
S2: Yeah, they look good. I've been very pleased with Big Dog.

FAQs
Why did you decide to go solar?
With six kids, we wanted to save money, especially after realizing that once we go over 700 kilowatts, the utility company charges more. Solar made financial sense for us.
How long did the solar installation take?
The installation was quick—Big Dog completed it within a week. We only had to wait for the inspector to approve it.
Do you always generate enough solar power for your home?
Some months we generate more power than we need, and other months we generate a little less. We just aim to avoid the higher utility bills.
How noticeable are the solar panels on your property?
Our solar panels are installed on the back of our shop, so they blend in well. Most of our neighbors didn’t even know we had solar panels!
