Solar by CIR

Solar by CIR is a leading solar energy provider based in Western New York, operating as a dedicated division of CIR Electrical Construction Corp., which has served the region since 1976. Established as its own solar-focused entity in 2004, Solar by CIR specializes in designing and installing solar energy systems for residential, commercial, industrial, and community clients throughout Buffalo and Rochester. The company prides itself on using only its own skilled electricians—never subcontractors—and holds certifications such as NABCEP accreditation and NYSERDA Quality Installer status.
With over 1,300 completed projects across Western New York—including notable installations for PUSH Buffalo’s Net Zero House (2005), Artpark, University at Buffalo, and multiple municipal campaigns—Solar by CIR has become recognized for quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Their offerings include comprehensive project design/engineering services; installation of grid-tied or off-grid solar PV systems; battery storage solutions; system maintenance/repairs; backup power integration; lighting upgrades; strategic financing partnerships to make renewable energy accessible regardless of budget or site constraints; plus long-term warranties up to 30 years. As an active participant in regional sustainability initiatives—including several NYSERDA “Solarize” campaigns—the company continues to expand its installed capacity while maintaining strong local roots.
