Customer Testimonial
“I could not be happier with the installation of my solar panels. I wanted a specific layout that was even, balanced and with no conduit exposed. I called three installers, one did not call back, the other insisted I needed panels on my garage because 26 panels could not fit on my main roof. When I called Buffalo Solar and told them that someone else said it could not be done, the salesman drove over that afternoon, climbed on the roof and measured by hand to confirm and ensure me that it could be done. In addition, they beat other’s pricing and installed a bigger inverter so I could expand in the future. The installation went great, friendly, courteous crew and very clean.”

*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).
**This customer chose to pay off his system faster by choosing a 5-year term, which has a lower interest rate but a higher monthly payment. 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 or sometimes even cheaper! Keep in mind whichever term the customer chooses, they can pay off their system early with NO prepayment penalties.
