Services
Stemming from over a 40 year history of electrical services, CIR Electrical Construction Corp. made the quantum leap into renewable energy when it created the Solar by CIR division, dedicated to solar energy. Solar by CIR has the infrastructure to complete project types ranging from residential, commercial, industrial, and community solar projects.
When a solar power system gets installed on a roof or ground mounts, the most common type of solar panels used are photovoltaic (or "PV") panels. The panels absorb light particles, called photons, from the sun. These particles then flow through the semi-conductive materials in the panels, creating an electrical current.

Highly recommended company. Solar by CIR installed my panels on my house and garage in Rochester, NY. Fantastic company. The consult is professional, thorough, and tailored to each situation. The installation crew is hard working, cleaned up after themselves. The office is incredibly responsive and helpful with any question/concerns. I'm glad I found them.

Had a solar system installed (not CIR) on my house a couple of years ago. It stopped working and after trying, without any luck, to get in touch with the installer so I contacted CIR. Even though they were booked up work wise, they took the time to come over and replace the component. It is working fine now and we thank CIR so much for coming out and helping us. We would highly recommend CIR to anyone.

I've had Solar by CIR do 2 solar roof installs, install a charger for my electric car, and also repair a broken anchor connection to the utility. The sales folks are LOW and NO pressure, which I really appreciated after talking to other solar providers. Their prices are always reasonable (when I call around to compare prices... theirs are the best) and the folks that do the work are efficient and friendly to deal with. CIR is always my first call for any electric work and will continue to be.

Having recently bought a home with a solar panel system and without the benefit of any literature having been left behind by the seller, I felt really stuck after learning the company that did the installation had folded.
After cold calling several outfits, CIR was most responsive. They promptly sent a technician, Kenny, to get the system up and running.
Kenny was extremely pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. In minutes he had me thoroughly understanding the system that is now fully operational. Great company.

I had my solar panels installed by a company that went out of business shortly after our system was installed. Its been a few years since I got the panels and I had a few minor problems. A friend of mine recommended CIR. I reached out to CIR and they have been amazing. They were extremely helpful and readily took on the monitoring of the system. They were very professional and knowledgeable and quickly assessed and fixed the problems that I was having. They are easy to speak with and extremely reasonable in their prices. I am so happy with them, I highly recommend CIR.

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!
