Quality You Can See. Power You Can Trust.

Buffalo Solar (Buffalo Solar Solutions, Inc.) is a commercial solar installer based in Depew, just outside Buffalo, NY. Founded in 2015, it designs and installs rooftop, ground-mount, and battery storage systems for businesses, nonprofits, churches, and multifamily properties across Western New York. Buffalo Solar is a 2025 NYSERDA Quality Solar Installer (Gold), employs NABCEP-certified PV installation professionals, and is a member of the New York Solar Energy Industries Association (NYSEIA).

Yes, but with a firm deadline. Under the 2025 federal tax law, commercial solar projects that did not begin construction by July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027 to claim the 30% investment tax credit. Because design, permitting, utility interconnection, and installation take months, businesses should start the process well before the end of 2027. Confirm eligibility with your tax advisor.

New York businesses can typically combine the federal investment tax credit (30% base, through the 2027 placed-in-service deadline), accelerated (MACRS) depreciation, NYSERDA NY-Sun incentives where funding is available for the project's region and size, and net metering or Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) credits from the utility. Rural and agricultural businesses may also qualify for USDA REAP grants.

Savings depend on roof or land area, electricity rates, and incentives. Electricity is expensive in New York: the average commercial price was 22.3 cents per kWh in January 2026, up from 20.4 cents a year earlier (U.S. EIA data published by NYSERDA). Buffalo Solar's free savings calculator gives a quick estimate, and uploading 12 months of utility bills produces a custom proposal.

Buffalo Solar installs systems from small-business rooftops of roughly 25 kW up to large arrays such as the 751 kW system at Holiday Twin Hockey Rink in Buffalo and an 883 kW system at Toyota of Princeton in New Jersey, including battery energy storage of up to several MWh.

Every installation is covered by Buffalo Solar's 15-Year Peace of Mind workmanship warranty, in addition to the solar panel manufacturers' 25-year panel warranties.

Buffalo Solar serves Buffalo, Erie County, Niagara County, and all of Western New York, with commercial projects across New York State and the Northeast, including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
