Solar by CIR

Had CIR install solar panels 10 years ago in 2016. They were very professional, did a wonderful job. I thought a checkup was in order because the web site SolarEdge was not showing my panels anymore and the inverter display stopped showing activity. It took a over a month to get a response from CIR then months to get an appt., then they want payment up front ( over $500). Not a way to run a business. I'll find some else to check my system.

Waiting for the snow to leave our slippery roof was worth the wait for our solar panel installation. The entire staff and crew of CIR were professional and competent in their knowledge of the installation. Information about every component of the solar component system was excellent. Many thanks to all! We are anxious to see the change in our bills and our environment. We would certainly refer our friends to the CIR company.

The solar by CIr team installed our system with great care and respect for our property . Safety was paramount at every step. I was informed every step of the way to insure that the system was incorporated into our home and every detail was made to ensure that the system components didn’t looked gaudy or obtrusive. Communication was key with CIR, from the first meeting and every aspect along the way. I was kept informed of all the permitting and legal aspects, equipment used, upgrades, installation window and possible delays. The system is up and running for almost two weeks and I’m producing power to cover my needs even on the most overcast days, full sun and blue skies and I’m producing an excess to carry me through the winter months. CIR is a premier company with a great team from start to finish. It was a pleasure to have them design , install and monitor my system for the future, thank you all for a great experience .

Nate's crew and everyone at CIR were very professional. The solar system install is great. We are very happy with the system. John H.

Great !

I am happy with the solar system install on my roof. Mark and his crew did a good job making sure it was done right the first time. The service was upgraded to 200 amp. System went online after new meter change, no problems. I have a tree by my driveway that was a issue for the truck to navigate into my driveway. Thanks, for a job well done.

Throughly Impressed

From the very beginning of the project, working with Kevin, then Jordan and his project team, and finally Nate and his installation crew, the entire experience has been outstanding. Kevin took the time to clearly explain all available options and patiently answered the many questions my wife and I had—especially since this was a capital expense for us. Jordan kept us well-informed throughout the process, ensuring everything stayed on track and that we felt confident every step of the way. I can't say enough good things about Nate and the on-site team. They were professional, courteous, and responsive to any concerns we had, delivering a thoroughly impressive job. I especially want to recognize Kevin, Jordan, and Nate for their patience and professionalism throughout. Thank you all for a job exceptionally well done!

Empty Promises

I went ahead and accepted a proposal with Solar by CIR because they seemed to be well reviewed and well priced and they ensured me that their experience in the electrical contracting business would serve well for the solar project. A service upgrade to 200 amps was one of major concerns and they convinced me they could do it and for better pricing than some competing quotes could. Plus, we're from Grand Island, a couple of streets away from their current office so we're basically "neighbors." My family signed in early March '25, with an expected install date of late May. Sounds good so far. I then would periodically check in with the sales rep, Kevin, who assured me that everything was on track. Asked me to get financing ready, everything seemed smooth. A week before the expected install, I check in. The permit hasn't even been filed yet. Almost 3 months and seemingly my project is on the back burner. But I understand delays happen so I went along with it, confirmed it would be a few more weeks to get it installed. I can be patient. Then, June 10, about 100 days since we've signed, the sales rep calls me. To complete the 200 amp upgrade, they will need to dig. To dig and for equipment, they will need to add 5-6k (couldn't even give me the courtesy for an exact figure), to be added on to the project. Now, I understand things come up but 3 months later? From a company banking on "we have so much electrical contracting experience" that's a big thing to miss in the initial visits. Alright, I've done a lot of work myself getting this going. Maybe we can come to some agreement. What I was offered was a larger 100 amp panel and $500 off. The initial project has $3000 added for the upgrade. Okay. Maybe we can come to some compromise on the new costs. Offer to pay for even half and I can look into coming up with the other half. Not an option. The project planner apparently, won't budge. "Jordan was unwilling to budge on this due to how busy we are with the Federal tax credit potentially ending" is what the rep told me. Seemingly, my project was a low priority for you. You've got other clients. At this point, we ended our contract as well. After posting a similar review elsewhere, I was then contacted in a panic by the rep who said the company was willing to work things out 50/50 in exchange of removing my review. They end up somehow getting that review removed regardless. All those things about being neighbors and being experienced never panned out for me. It's really a shame too that I bought into it.

This was a master craft work by young men, well trained, courteous, very careful and determined to do the job well. Kudos to Nate, Ryan, Shawn, Dan, Ryan (2), Jude, Tyler and the back up crew at CIR. They were neat, orderly and thorough in their communications with us during their short time here in mostly rainy weather. I appreciate them. While we wait for inspection and power up after, I would recommend their work, their timeliness and their price. I imagine it will bring great returns for years to come and thank CIR and these pros! And the tattoo talk was funny!

Mark and his crew just finished installing our solar panel system.They were a pleasure to deal with,kept us informed and tried to minimize any disruption during the installation.Jordan and Darrin kept us up to date regarding the process.We are very satisfied customers and would recommend CIR to anyone

Great Solar Partner

I was impressed from start to finish with Solar by CIR and would definitely recommend them for a residential installation. They are very professional, lots of communications throughout the process with timely followups to our questions. Sales process was helpful and educational without being high pressure. Pricing was reasonable and very competitive with other quotes I obtained.

Excellent from first to last

Very happy with this company, everything went smoothly. Would recommend to anyone.

New Solar Installation

I ws very pleased with all aspects of our purchase and installation of solar panels for our home. From the initial sales, through installation and activation, CIR staff were always polite, professional and competent.

I had an excellent experience with the CIR Electric Company for solar panels. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The entire team, including Kevin , Jordan, Jacob, Andrew , Matt and the installation crew were professional , efficient and exceeded my expectations . Advance notification of the schedule was very helpful and appreciated . The landscaping and vegetable gardens were not disturbed . I highly recommend CIR.

Residential Install

Cory's crew installed an array for us at the end of September. The crew was very respectful and courteous and did an absolutely great job, couldnt be happier. The system passed inspection without any issues and I would recommend the company to anyone interested!

Really a simple process

From start to finish it was a really simple process to get solar installed. Called them for a quote and they gave a no BS quote without a sale pitch or pressuring which is the main issue I have avoided a solar quote. I hate sales pitches. The rep answered all questions I had and gave any materials I requested to look up and do my own research. I ended up wanting to move forward with the project and they handled everything from talking with my electric supplier to building permits to the final inspection. I did not have to do much of anything. As for the install it took 2 days and they were respectful, clean and neat. The only sign that they were even in the basement was a piece or wiring stripping that went under a cabinet I found when cleaning later. Absolutely remarkable craftsmanship from painting the panel mounting board to match my old one to making the piping symmetrical and neat. I am more than impressed with the work they did. The workmanship is what I am most impressed about as that is a level of detail not often seen by electricians. They centered the panels, centered the pipes, caulking was precise and I can go on and on. Pros: No Sales pitch, easy process, craftsmanship Cons: None as of yet

CIR Solar

Fantastic experience and Product! Couldn’t be happier with the customer support and knowledgeable team (Kevin Wagner). Answered all my questions and walked me through the process clearly. No hidden steps or surprises. Professionally installed with good craftsmanship! Akins

Solar by CIR has been a wonderful company to work with !

They have been, by far, the best contractor company to deal with my wife and I have experienced. Their sales and installer crew were professional, helpful and answered ALL of our questions before during and after the installation. They showed up on time and worked tirelessly to get our install done in a day and a half of install time. Kevin and Kyle and their crew were fantastic and cleaned up totally upon completion of their work. Their work was very professional, expert and cutting edge. We look forward to saving much on our future electrical usage and helping our environment and planet too. Thinking about solar or general electrical work in your home or business? Go with Solar by CIR. You will not regret it! Years of expertise in both areas.

Above and Beyond My Expectaions

Three years ago my wife and I built our house and dealing with contractors was an absolute nightmare. So we've always been a little gun shy with contractors working around the house. I just wanted to give a a huge kudos to all the folks at Solar by Cir. I have to say the crew was an absolute pleasure to work with. The cost was in the same ball park as the rest but just being able to talk to people during the week or even on the weekend with questions was a breath of fresh air. Installers showed up on time and walked me through everything. They were extremely patient with all of my questions. I've even referred a bunch of my friends/family. Don't hesitate to work with Kevin and his crew!

Quick Professional Friendly

Had a problem with my solar system, called CIR (recommended) and they came out quickly, even though they were booked up for months and fixed the problem. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Why try the rest when you can have the BEST!!!

Too to bottom a stand up company, with top notch work. Effortless on my part and every request I made was handled without hassle. Will recommend solar by CIR to anyone who will listen.

Residential review

After meeting with Kevin Wagner, I was confident that Solar by CIR was experienced with electrical work in general, and with solar installation in particular, choice of high quality equipment, and price very competitive. The process was smooth, from site evaluation to contracting and finally installation. Crew was well supervised, efficient, hard working, neat. Work accomplished in less than 2 days. At time of install, Justin provided various options and advantages/disadvantages. 100% satisfied.

CIR did an outstanding job

They installed my solar, backup generator and wired my pole barn. Did an outstanding job. Staff was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend

Outstanding solar installation: Solar by CIR

CIR solar did installed a 10.65 solar system on my new house. Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable and efficient including both the installers and the office personnel. The quality of the work, documentation and follow through was excellent.

Solar Panels On Second property

This is my second property that I have put solar panels on. The first was in 2014, and was the Kyocera 260kw panels. They were a good company but obtaining the property next door I went with CIR and not only are they using a higher quality panel but the install was much cleaner. CIR also was very good with responding to any issues I had with getting the system operational. I am now ordering 25 more panels to double my solar production.

So happy with my installation

The installers were a very nice bunch. They even came back while the electrical inspection was being done to make sure all went well. I love that my electric bill is under $18.00 a month, even in the summer with a/c.

Great Investment

We had a couple companies come to give us an estimate for solar installation on our pole barn. CIR was very professional, thorough, attentive not only during installation but continues years later. We are happy with our decision and continue to make more energy than we need for our home and to take advantage of the incentives and tax savings. Highly recommend!

Service review unsatisfactory

Approximately 40 days ago it was noted that one of my inverters was not functioning and therefore half of my system is out of service. They ordered a new one and when they went to install it, they were missing a bracket. To this date, the bracket has not come in and my system is still down. My advise is to get a reliability guarantee because without it, the only one that get's damaged is the customer. CIR is taking their sweet time to fix it and based on my over 30 years experience in the power industry, this lackadasical approach to keeping systems operating wouldn't fly.

Couldn't be happier

I honestly couldn't be happier since the installation of our solar setup. My electric bill over the summer was $17, the tax breaks I got back were real, and my payment for the long term financing are comparable to my normal electric bill. There's really no down side and once I fully own the system I'm making money off of it.

Excellent all the way

We had our solar panels installed in Nov/Dec by CIR. The crew that did all the work was fantastic every step of the way. Pleasant, professional and very good at what they do from beginning to end. I waited a little while to see how everything performed when there was really some sun. Excellent!!

Excellent

I could not be happier with my solar installation by CIR. From start to finish everything was fully explained and done in a professional manner. The few questions I had were answered quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend this company!!
