For many homeowners, solar is about more than lowering an electric bill. It is also about producing electricity at home and becoming less dependent on the utility grid.

A residential solar system can generate electricity during daylight hours. Pairing solar with battery backup can store energy for selected needs when the grid is unavailable.

The appropriate level of self-sufficiency depends on the system size, battery capacity, household energy use, weather, and utility connection. Big Dog Solar helps homeowners throughout the Mountain West, including communities served by its Helena and Grand Junction teams, explore these options.

I think being self-sufficient is a big deal. You never know what is going to happen, so having my own source of power at home really matters to me.
