I was impressed from start to finish with Solar by CIR and would definitely recommend them for a residential installation. They are very professional, lots of communications throughout the process with timely followups to our questions. Sales process was helpful and educational without being high pressure. Pricing was reasonable and very competitive with other quotes I obtained.

Great Experience from start to finish. I started evaluating solar energy a few months ago. I received quotes and visits from about 5 different companies. Solar CIR not only was the least expensive, but also seemed to be most knowledgeable.Everyone throughout the project was very professional and very accommodating. The attention to detail was unsurpassed. I highly recommend Solar CIR.

Kevin, Jordan, and the whole Solar by CIR team did a great job with our install. Our permit was approved early and they moved us up a month in the schedule. The install days were cold and snowy. The crew still did a great job and finished in 2 days. Jordan handled all the paperwork, inspections and net meter install. Were very happy with our install.

Darren and his CIR team did a fantastic job on our smaller 3kW project. We saved money on our electric bill in the first month and our ROI is under 7 years. Installed in 2018 it is quietly saving every month. We have several months where we only pay for the mandatory connection and distribution fees. The key to a successful project with quick payback is conservation. Darren will walk you through all the details. I highly recommend CIRs Solar Team!

The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Cory and all of the installation techs were so nice, and did a wonderful job. I cant speak to the longevity of the system since it was just installed but Im really looking forward to taking advantage of the solar energy they provide. Thank you again!

I can’t say enough nice things about Mark and his team. His informative, upbeat attitude, and attention to detail was really helpful, and put our minds at ease. The way he communicated with us and prepared us for what to expect was above and beyond - we were so impressed! Thanks so much to the whole gang. Also, shout out to Jordan, who was kind and quick to respond when we had questions.

Working with CIR was an excellent experience. Everyone was helpful, answered any question I had, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and I was completely satisfied.Darrin felt less like a salesperson and more like an advisor. There was never any pressure or sales tactics. He showed me exactly what to expect and made everything easy to understand. The installation process was meticulous.Jordan and crew made sure nothing in the house was interrupted and all the equipment was installed as unobtrusively as possible.There was a glitch with the monitoring install, but Matt and Eric doggedly worked through it until everything worked exactly as it should.I cant recommend the team enough.

They did our solar panels in 2015. Excellent company! They explained the entire procedure, pulled the permits, installed everything, and was here for the inspections. They also handled all of the paperwork for the Federal and state credits and the short & long term loans so there was no money up front. The short term loan was zero interest for the time it took to get the fed and state tax refunds which included the credits. The system cost was over $32,000 of which I paid $12,500 which was put on a low interest loan.They also connected my new underground entrance, replaced the original panel, installed a back-up generator with transfer switch, and connected the panel in my shop. All professionally done, inspected, and operational. Were very pleased.

Solar by CIR installed 28 Panasonic panels on my roof over the course of two days. They were professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. They kept me in the loop every step of the process and were an absolute pleasure to work with. I whole-heartedly recommend them.

Review 13 (2019-01-23 - Rating: 5)
Great price and quality of work. Panels installed in 2 days. Everyone was professional and courteous to work with. Very respectful of house and dogs/cats. Solar by CIR and CIR electrical are different people, same company though.

The entire experience with CIR Solar was professional and personal. From the salesman to the installers. Great group of people! They answered any and all my questions and if they didn’t know the answer they pointed me in the right direction to get the answers. They are dependable and the real deal. I have and continue to recommend them.

Using CIR was for my solar needs for my home was a great decision! Not only me but five of my surrounding neighbors also made this choice. They were informative, reasonably priced and accessible for any and all questions I had along the journey! It was a great investment!!

If youre thinking about going Solar, we are proud to strongly recommend CIR Solar. We talked with 4 solar companies and chose CIR Solar based on five main points - - -1. Our experience with Darrin (Director of Sales) and Kenny (Journeyman Electrician & Construction Manager)2. Other CIR customer testimonials3. CIR standing with NYSERDA4. The specific solar system Darrin & Kenny recommended5. We liked the fact that CIR has been in business for 46 years and well positioned to support the system warranty.The CIR Teams professionalism, knowledge and upfront honesty spoke volumes for us and following the installation, it was obvious we had made the right choice. As a perfectionist, I have always found things that could be better but upon their completion, we were completely satisfied. Simply stated - their installation was perfection and their knowledge, workmanship, attention to detail, cleanliness, politeness and professionalism were all second to none. CIR took care of everything from start to finish and when the job was done, they gave an organized hard copy folder and a Flash Drive containing all of the project and system documents. The system looks Great and is performing perfectly, we are so glad we chose CIR Solar, AMAZING People- AMAZING Company!Jack & Chris Shevlin Hamlin, NY

Marks team was great. Everyone was really professional and courteous. The install was very quick, and they did everything to be polite. All team members were knowledgeable. They even fixed a known electrical problem without a mention or extra charge.Big thanks to CIR

We had been thinking of getting solar and when we stopped to chat with a rep at the home show we knew we’d want to have this company install our solar. A rep came out to do an estimate and we were sold. They made to very easy and it’s been worth it ever since. Should have had it done earlier. I haven’t had to pay my electric bill since installation even running the ac all summer.

Review 19 (2024-04-22 - Rating: 5)
Installation works and the team was responsive along installation. My electric bill is essentially zero now minus a dollar or two.Had a more challenging build on a narrow city street and they were able to complete the project without issue.

The team at CIR was fantastic and professional. From the sales rep showing up to give us a quote and talk us through the system and answering all of our questions, the engineer coming out to check everything ahead of time. To the team that came and did the install, everyone at CIR is respectful, professional and super helpful. This has been a great experience and I will always recommend CIR to friends and family in the future. Happy to finally turn our system on today and start producing energy!

Mark and his crew were excellent . I couldn’t have expected higher professionalism from everyone . Very pleasant and polite . Kept me informed of every step . Neat and tidy too. Terrific work by all . If the solar panels work as advertised this will be a bonus ! I highly recommend CIR for the quality of employee that represents the firm . Fine fine work . Thanks so much

I highly recommend Solar by CIR for your solar project! It was affordable and we were able to include a new roof in the price of the panels as well. It was a pleasure to have Anthony the sales rep, explain everything from the beginning of the process to end of the installation and he was available anytime we had a question. It was also a pleasure to work with Jordan regarding the installation process and logistics. I can’t wait until we see the savings and no longer have to pay that high electric bill that will only continue to go up while the cost of going solar stays the same! Kudos to the whole team at CIR!

Review 23 (2023-03-09 - Rating: 5)
Our experience with CIR was excellent. They made whole process of adding solar direct and straightforward. The crew was clearly experienced and knowledgeable. And the project was completed ahead of schedule! Would recommend them highly.

Review 24 (2021-02-04 - Rating: 5)
I had my solar panels installed by a company that went out of business shortly after our system was installed. Its been a few years since I got the panels and I had a few minor problems. A friend of mine recommended CIR. I reached out to CIR and they have been amazing. They were extremely helpful and readily took on the monitoring of the system. They were very professional and knowledgeable and quickly assessed and fixed the problems that I was having. They are easy to speak with and extremely reasonable in their prices. I am so happy with them, I highly recommend CIR.

Review 25 (2023-10-20 - Rating: 5)
Had a choice between two solar firms, sure glad I chose CIR for our installation.From the start, an actual face to face meeting with a very good presentation to the expedited installation which was worked around our schedule. Sales, PM and installation teams were a pleasure to work with.And now to see this Net Meter actually go in reverse these last 3 days was the biggest treat of all!!!DQ

Review 26 (2020-10-21 - Rating: 5)
We had a couple companies come to give us an estimate for solar installation on our pole barn. CIR was very professional, thorough, attentive not only during installation but continues years later. We are happy with our decision and continue to make more energy than we need for our home and to take advantage of the incentives and tax savings. Highly recommend!

Review 27 (2021-12-05 - Rating: 5)
Highly recommended company. Solar by CIR installed my panels on my house and garage in Rochester, NY. Fantastic company. The consult is professional, thorough, and tailored to each situation. The installation crew is hard working, cleaned up after themselves. The office is incredibly responsive and helpful with any question/concerns. Im glad I found them.

Review 28 (2020-10-22 - Rating: 5)
Great to work with, from Kevin upfront with the sales presentation, to Jordan managing the project, to the guys on site installing. No issues at all during install other than a few things the inspector wanted which CIR came out right away to address. Financing options were explained well and working with their lender was easy. All-around a great experience with CIR.

Review 29 (2023-05-12 - Rating: 5)
I just want to thank the crew that installed solar panels and system on my home. They were very professional and everything looks as good as it would if I did it myself. They took four hours to do the entire install, it would have taken me four days to tThe team that did my install is a credit to the company. I will recommend CIR to everyone.

Review 30 (2023-03-01 - Rating: 5)
Good communications during entire project. All workers were friendly and answered all my questions during the install. Would definitely recommend. Only caution is that I would highly recommend any trenching work (if needed for your install) not be done with snow on the ground. Backfilling of trench is really hard to do right the first time with snow mixed with soil.

Review 31 (2023-03-06 - Rating: 5)
The CIR crew was knowledgeable about the technology, clearly coordinated and communicated the process, and were very respectful as they worked through the install. I would recommend them to anyone interested in adding solar to their home!

Review 32 (2021-09-22 - Rating: 5)
Had a solar system installed (not CIR) on my house a couple of years ago. It stopped working and after trying, without any luck, to get in touch with the installer so I contacted CIR. Even though they were booked up work wise, they took the time to come over and replace the component. It is working fine now and we thank CIR so much for coming out and helping us. We would highly recommend CIR to anyone.

Review 33 (2021-06-07 - Rating: 5)
Ive had Solar by CIR do 2 solar roof installs, install a charger for my electric car, and also repair a broken anchor connection to the utility. The sales folks are LOW and NO pressure, which I really appreciated after talking to other solar providers. Their prices are always reasonable (when I call around to compare prices... theirs are the best) and the folks that do the work are efficient and friendly to deal with. CIR is always my first call for any electric work and will continue to be.

Review 34 (2019-08-26 - Rating: 5)
It was real pleasure going through the entire solar process with solar by cir. And no I am not a solar cir family member. Had jumped into Electric vehicle wagon and had been shopping for best deal on solar. Solar by CIR had hands down the best price with best solar panels and equipment. There were some expected delays, mostly from getting town permit, but everything went really well. They even converted a 220v outlet without extra charge and fixed my poor attempt at making an outlet. All workers were courteous and careful with the house. Had some issues with inverter ev charger combo but with additional help from solar cir, I am fully up and running.Looking forward to working with them again and have referred some friends to them as well.Its no brainier to work with local companies who stand behind their work.

Solar by CIR installed panels on my home and I couldn’t be happier. I researched a few WNY companies before choosing them and I’m confident I made the right decision. Consult, installation, follow-up was all very professional. Highly recommended!

The guys at Solar by CIR are amazing.I had a problem arise with a system that was installed by another company that went out of business (and didnt tell anyone - Freedom Solar). Jordan was quick to respond and they sent a guy out super quickly.My moms is looking to have solar installed soon and Solar by CIR is who well want to work with.Thank you! You made a frustrating situation a breeze.

I had solar panels installed on a home I owned in Kenmore and CIR did such a great job that when I sold that house and bought a new house they were my first call.

Review 43 (2020-10-21 - Rating: 5)
The installation process was great. The workers were very nice and respectful of my property. With solar panels, my electric bill is less than $18.00 a month even during the summer with air conditioning. The entire process was painless.

Review 62 (2024-01-24 - Rating: 5)
Looked at a good number of solar installers for my house. most oversold their systems or out right lied about what solar is and can do. Also not having the whole set up under one roof was a potential problem for service if I needed it. CIR has control over salesmen, installers, monitoring, and repairs and works with financiers to help with cost. they came out when they said they would, and did what they said. they were knowledgeable, experienced, fair priced and didnt oversell. Overall I was pleased with them.

Review 63 (2020-10-21 - Rating: 4)
Great team to work with and very happy with the system. There were some delays in the setup, but that was probably due to the work volume at the end of the year.

CIR did an efficient job of installing the system. The crew was very professional. The most important fact was that the system was ten thousand dollars less than their competitors price. This lowered price and federal income tax credits made it possible for me to buy the solar panels.

Simply fantastic to work with. We turned to them when we needed service and our original sales group and installer were no longer in business. What could have been an awful situation was just dealt with, and they took care of our problem. Timely, professional, and exceptional! Relieved we found a company that was so great to deal with from the initial call thru the repair!

Review 75 (2019-09-21 - Rating: 5)
After 4 years of solar power production, our system failed due to an inverter malfanction. The inverter warranty still had many years left, but until we reached out to CIR, we were unable to get repair done because our original installer is out of business.CIR agreed to take us as clients, oversee, and perform the repair. Jason Yax has been a great help in procuring the needed warranty equipment, and scheduling the work. Kenny and Nate got the job done fast, efficiently, and at what became a very reasonable cost.We are now making power again for the last four days, after nearly a month in the summer without being able to. Thank you CIR, for getting us up and producing again. What relief we are feeling!You made our lives better!Phil and Peggy Spiesz. 9/17/2019
