Customer Testimonial
“In October of 2017 we had Buffalo Solar Solutions install solar panels, and we are very happy with the professional service they provided to us from the proposal to the installed system. The installers were very friendly and cleaned up after themselves. The project manager made the whole process pretty painless and easy. We were able to receive all of the tax credits, which made the decision of going solar really easy. I would definitely recommend Buffalo Solar Solutions to anyone. The finished product looks great, is very clean, and has no extra hardware showing that would take away from the look.”

*Customers are still responsible for paying the basic hookup fee to the utility company (in this case, NYSEG), 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.
