A Montana homeowner shares her early experience with a new solar system installed alongside a metal roof. She highlights the clean appearance, production monitoring, and Big Dog Solar's coordination with the roofer, electricians, inspector, and other project partners.
Roof replacement and solar installation can overlap, but the sequence must be planned carefully. In this project, the homeowner valued having one solar partner coordinate the contracting details and help the two scopes move together.
She is also beginning to learn how system production changes through Montana's seasons using the monitoring app. Her three-word description of Big Dog Solar is thorough, comprehensive, and energetic.

Customer: So, it was kind of a one-stop shop, which just made it super simple for us to make that choice. So, we had our solar installation a couple weeks ago. so just getting used to the app and kind of seeing how that translates into energy savings for us.
What we really wanted to do is take advantage of all this beautiful Montana sun. I know that's going to change as we get into winter. We'll have less and less actual hours that we're gleaning.
but I think the installation was done really well. It looks great, but you can't even see it unless you're walking up the hill on the side of the house. So, kudos to Big Dog Solar.
I'm excited to see where this goes. I'm very happy we got the panels done. At the same time, we had a metal roof put on.
because again, we're kind of up here where there's a lot of sun and trees and fodder for fire. So that all made sense. We chose to work with Big Dog because they were maybe the only one that pretty seamlessly worked with the roofing company.
We were doing kind of both at the same time. as you can imagine, for someone who doesn't speak contracting language, trying to coordinate all the parts of the roofing and then the solar and what has to happen first. they coordinate all of that, made it seamless.
also coordinated with the I guess the city inspector and all electricians, all of that. So, it was kind of a one-stop shop, which just made it super simple for us to make that choice. Three words to describe Big Dog Solar.
Thorough, comprehensive, and energy. Because we're saving on energy.
