Customer Testimonial
“I can’t say enough about Buffalo Solar Solutions. Tyler came to our home for a consultation and to educate us on solar. He went over our current electric bill, annual usage, how the system would operate, where the panels would be the most optimal, how the inverter worked and where it would be positioned. They moved quickly to obtain and submit all required documents, they handled all permits needed, and only asked me to sign documents via my cell phone. The installers were tremendous—conscientious and clean. They even took time out to help me with some wiring issues I was having on my pool pump! What other company shows that type of care for their customers?”
The numbers in this case study pertain specifically to this customer. Prices and monthly solar payments are based off of current market prices and numerous other factors. (Get your free solar consultation and solar panel estimate »)
*Customers are still responsible for paying the basic hookup fee to the utility company (in this case, National Grid), which ranges from approximately $15–$17 a month (plus tax).
**It was actually cheaper for this customer to go solar than to keep paying their electric bill! Most of our customers choose a 15-year term, which in most cases brings their solar payment down to the same cost as their average electric bill. Keep in mind whichever term the customer chooses, they can pay off their system early with NO prepayment penalties.
