30% Upfront Solar Savings: How Big Dog's Program Works

Education

The homeowner solar tax landscape changed after 2025, but Big Dog Solar describes a separate program designed to pass qualified commercial-side value to eligible customers as an upfront discount. This video explains the basic structure and why homeowners should review current written terms instead of assuming it works like a personal tax credit.

Under the program described in the video, the homeowner does not wait to claim a credit on an individual tax return. Instead, an eligible entity claims the applicable business-side benefit and applies program value to the customer's project price.

That distinction affects ownership, maintenance, buyout, and eligibility. Availability can change, and this is not tax advice; ask for a complete proposal and consult a qualified tax professional before relying on an incentive.

Mitch: Hey, I think I just found the biggest solar savings loophole people are missing out on right now. Hear me out. The 30% solar tax credit expired in 2025 for homeowners, but Big Dog Solar is now offering an instant 30% savings that isn't dependent on taxes. The previous solar incentive was for homeowners to claim, but with this new program, we were able to claim a credit on the commercial side of things and pass that 30% directly to you as an upfront discount.

Here's why this is better. Under the old system, 40% of Americans that went solar got zero benefit because they didn't owe enough in taxes. With this opportunity, your tax situation doesn't matter. And because it doesn't have to do with taxes, you don't have to wait for tax season to get the savings.

Big Dog Solar handles the commercial credit and you get instant savings on day one. Comment solar and we'll send you exactly how this works.
