Anna Szweda on Solar By CIR Buffalo

Solar by CIR put in our rooftop solar system in summer 2025. They were very helpful and did a great job. We got quotes from a few contractors, but I had a lot of questions and CIR was the best about actually answering my questions vs. just trying to sell me something. They made financing, incentives, and tax rebates super easy, kept us updated in the approval process, and made sure we understood the system as installed. 5/5, would recommend.

I'm really happy with my experience with Solar by CIR from start to finish. Kevin the salesman provided a lot of useful information and answered several follow-up questions I had. The conversation was always very casual and never pushy or "sales-y".
After I agreed to move forward, the office crew did a good job of keeping me updated on the status of my job. I was always aware of the timeline whether it had to do with inspections, permitting, or the actual install timeframe.
The install was a two-day process and the crew did good work while explaining things to me along the way. The asked for my feedback about how and where I wanted the lines and electrical boxes to be placed, which I really appreciated. At the end of the job, I heard Nate checking with everybody that everything was cleaned up really well.
I enjoy checking my app and seeing the power I'm generating. Thanks CIR for doing a great job!

Ray Miller on Solar By CIR Buffalo

From the very beginning of the project, working with Kevin, then Jordan and his project team, and finally Nate and his installation crew, the entire experience has been outstanding. Kevin took the time to clearly explain all available options and patiently answered the many questions my wife and I had—especially since this was a capital expense for us.
Jordan kept us well-informed throughout the process, ensuring everything stayed on track and that we felt confident every step of the way. I can't say enough good things about Nate and the on-site team. They were professional, courteous, and responsive to any concerns we had, delivering a thoroughly impressive job.
I especially want to recognize Kevin, Jordan, and Nate for their patience and professionalism throughout. Thank you all for a job exceptionally well done!

Donald Van Every on Solar By CIR Buffalo

This was a master craft work by young men, well trained, courteous, very careful and determined to do the job well. Kudos to Nate, Ryan, Shawn, Dan, Ryan (2), Jude, Tyler and the back up crew at CIR.
They were neat, orderly and thorough in their communications with us during their short time here in mostly rainy weather. I appreciate them.
While we wait for inspection and power up after, I would recommend their work, their timeliness and their price. I imagine it will bring great returns for years to come and thank CIR and these pros!
And the tattoo talk was funny!
