Customer Testimonial
“Being such a large project, I obviously got estimates from six companies. Buffalo Solar Solutions stood out from the start, when Kyle came over to estimate the project, his professionalism and knowledge was above and beyond every other company that stepped through the door. I can honestly say I didn’t choose the lowest estimate, I chose the one that made me feel most comfortable, especially due to the fact that they were the only company proposing the MT ground mount system, which is absolutely amazing. The installers were friendly and just as knowledgeable. The electrical work in the basement is above and beyond what I assumed, the installers definitely took pride in their work. Overall, from start to finish, Tyler and his team were the best choice—look no further!”

*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).
**This customer paid cash up front, so they have no monthly solar 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. Keep in mind whichever term the customer chooses, they can pay off their system early with NO prepayment penalties.
