“Bob is passionate about his business and providing a quality product at a competitive price. He goes above and beyond to ensure that your system is built beyond your expectations. We priced out three different companies for our solar system and by far, his proposal took our project to the expectations that we set and beyond. The quality and his craftsmanship with making sure that the solar panels are a seamless design was exactly what we were looking for. His team was professional and respected our home throughout the whole process. Don’t call the big name companies, call Bob at Go Solar WNY and make an appointment to find out for yourself!”
-Serena Lubacz – West Seneca, NY homeowner
“Working with Go Solar WNY was a great experience.
Bob, the owner, listened to all of my concerns and needs I was looking for when going solar power. We had a great installation and the panels are working just as planned.
I recommend Go Solar WNY to anyone that is thinking about going that route.”
-Aleksey Shek – Williamsville, NY homeowner
“I am honored to provide a recommendation for Bob Timkey and his company Go Solar WNY for any of your Solar sales, service and installation needs. Bob and his very competent team installed a solar array on my residential roof in the spring of 2018. I had many options to choose from when looking for for a solar company, but Bob stood out from the rest. His disarming nature and ability to listen to my needs was a great first impression. His ability to educate me on the best option for our individual situation wasn’t a sales pitch, it was a solution conversation.
Bob and his team were very respectful of our home and time and worked efficiently and quietly throughout the project. Bob is never more than a phone call away when I have a question. I am proud to recommend Go Solar WNY to all of my friends and family.”
-Jason Pearl – Lockport, NY homeowner
“Thank you so much. We are very impressed with you and your team. It has been such a smooth process, we appreciate it!“
-Shannon Kleinhans – Lockport, NY homeowner
“If anyone is in need of solar panels or is thinking about them for their house or business I highly recommend Bob Timkey @ Go Solar WNY. He is very knowledgeable and he is not just the seller but he is also the installer; meaning that he knows every aspect of the job; not just one part.
We really appreciated his honest opinions on the different products and worked with us until we found the best one for us. He kept us updated throughout the whole process from start to finish and made sure to check in with us often and let us know what was happening next.
Also, since this was on our pole barn he found out what type of wifi extender would work best for us so we could use the APP Enphase on our phones to see how our solar panels are producing. He went out of his way for us to make sure that we were all set up.
I would highly recommend Go Solar WNY for your Solar needs!”
-Ashley Mark – Middleport, NY homeowner
“I recently had a solar system installed by Go Solar WNY, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation through the final approval, everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and with exceptional communication.
Bob took the time to answer all of my questions, explained every step of the process, and made sure I understood exactly what was happening throughout the project. I was kept informed from start to finish, including when permits and documents were submitted, when they were approved, when inspections were scheduled, and what the next steps would be. Every little step was communicated, so I never had to wonder where the project stood.
The installation crew was fantastic. They arrived on time each day, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their craftsmanship. They treated my home and property with respect, maintained a clean work area, and were always willing to answer questions.
I was originally told the installation would take about three days, but the crew completed the entire installation in just two days which was impressive on this size project (51 panels). The finished system looks clean, organized, and professionally installed.
Go Solar WNY made what I expected to be a complicated project relatively stress-free. Their professionalism, outstanding communication, quality workmanship, and commitment to customer satisfaction were evident every step of the way. If you’re considering solar in Western New York, I highly recommend Go Solar WNY. They delivered exactly what they promised.”
-Donald Travis – Lockport, NY homeowner
July 2026 update: “A few years ago when doing some home improvements, my wife and I decided to look into Solar for the home. Bob and his team were extremely professional and walked us through each step. They maintained a the proposed schedule, were timely, professional, and treated my home with respect. A few years later and we could not be happier with the product, productions, reliability, and installation.”
July 2022: “From start to finish, Go Solar WNY was amazing. Bob was thorough and detailed when walking us through the process of determining our needs, payment methods, and timeline. He kept in regular communication and updated us on the various steps.
We chose to use financing and Bob provided guidance and assistance with that as well. Throughout the entire process he was friendly and courteous and never made myself or my wife feel any pressure.
On installation day, the crew did an amazing job. If I could give the Go Solar WNY team 20 stars I would.”
-Christopher Hutchinson – West Falls, NY homeowner
“I went solar! If anyone is interested in going solar too, I highly recommend Bob Timkey of GoSolar of WNY.
-Robert Brechue – Lockport, NY homeowner
“I needed the inverters changed on my solar panels and Go Solar WNY was amazing from start to finish. I worked with Bob Timkey. He is very knowledgeable, always on time, educated me on the equipment and he never left a mess. I highly recommend Go Solar WNY.“
-Charles Thomas – Niagara County homeowner
“I chose to work with Go Solar WNY because of their knowledge and attention to detail. I never felt like I was being sold a cookie cutter package, and Bob took the time to really look at the job and perform his due diligence to make sure all of my concerns were addressed and that he would be able to deliver on all of his promises. It very much felt like I was getting a custom plan tailored to my needs and my home specifically. Bob did a great job of keeping me updated along the way and the final work product looks great!“
-Andrew Moon – East Aurora, NY homeowner
“Very happy with the work the Go Solar WNY team did for us. Clear communication and kept us aware of the status of things throughout the project. Very happy with the results.“
-Matthew Stock – Clarence, NY homeowner
“Go Solar WNY expedited my installation to enable me to take advantage of a tax opportunity, completing the install in record time. Bob was exceptional in the design, installation, and through-out the post install process. Communications were clear and concise over the duration of the project. I would love to rate Go Solar WNY higher than 5 stars, they deserve this top rating!
As Bob is honest, transparent, and supportive, I have recommended Go Solar WNY to both my friends and family. This is probably the best way I can thank them.”
-Richard Boos – Lewiston, NY homeowner
“Go Solar is awesome! From start to finish on our project. Bob was personable, knowledgeable, honest, and professional. Our system produced 11,500 KWh in the past twelve months, against our original projection of 10,664!!”
-Scott Kleinhans – Lockport, NY homeowner
“I received estimates from several solar companies prior to making my choice. All the other solar companies came in, gave me pretty much the same pitch and then pressured me for a deal. Not Bob. Go Solar (the owner actually comes) came in and also gave the pitch but also listened! I asked a ton of questions and he answered each one. He also answered questions I didn’t even think to ask. He seemed like he would have stayed as long as needed as opposed to the other guys who came in, quickly made their pitch and then took off to the next one. I actually had one company that was in and out in under 10 minutes!
So bottom line- I went with Bob because I felt comfortable with him caring about me as a customer and working with me to get what I was looking for, not what he wanted to sell me. The install was fast, his crew was respectful and professional. They cleaned up after the job was done and did quality work. My system has been running for 5 months now and it has exceeded my expectations as far as performance goes.”
-Jim Hans – Sanborn, NY homeowner
“Go Solar WNY was amazing to work with. We had a metal roof put on and we needed our solar panels removed and then re-installed on the metal roof. Bob was amazing. He worked effortlessly with the roofing company to coordinate everything. Excellent communication, very knowledgeable about new bracket system and the solar panels themselves. The panels were re-installed and working great!!!“
-Ann Tierney – Getzville, NY homeowner
“June 2026 update: A bunch of my coworkers who were kind of laughing at me for how much I invested in this back in 2024 are kicking themselves now with their utility rates going up and crazy stuff going on in the world. I like having my $42 electrical bill and no propane (Mr. Krisch invested in electric air source heat pumps along with his solar system installation to replace a large propane expense). I did have a couple electric bills during the winter because I tapped into all my reserve that I had banked from the summer.
August 2024: From the start of the process, to the end of the process, Go Solar WNY, was both professional and a pleasure to work with. From giving a rough estimate just based on aerial view to get a good idea of a base of where to start and something to compare with other companies, Bob was concise but easy to understand when when trying to learn about the whole process. He was able to answer all my questions including those that had very little to do with my project, but just solar as a whole. There was absolutely no pressure to sign on with him which is one of the main reasons I did. He’s really not a sales guy, he just gives you the details and the price.
He was able to start my project a whole month earlier than originally anticipated, but based on my availability, which was absolutely fantastic.
Everything looks great from the ground. Very happy with the amount of detail Bob and his team put in to make sure the final product is not only functional, but is pleasing to the eye. It was super important to us. Absolutely no conduit on the roof, everything is in the attic. I really appreciate his team for their professionalism and their speediness of getting the job done. Looking forward to the next few months of being able to see the daily production.”
-Michael Krisch – Town of Cambria, NY homeowner
“Go Solar installed a solar array this summer on the back of my house and garage. It’s been great so far and is meeting all my demand, including an electric car. Bob was involved start to finish and very responsive.”
-Madison Rich – Village of Hamburg, NY homeowner
“Bob was a pleasure to work with and NYSERDA was impressed by the work. NYSERDA’s post inspection passed with 100%. Highly recommend GoSolar.”
-Dr. Christopher E. Beney, M.D. PC – Owner, Lockport Medical Center
“Cannot say enough good things about Bob and his team. His communication, professionalism, and attention to detail are all top-notch. His crew was courteous and friendly, and they got the work done quickly. The solar panels look great and are so low-profile that they are barely noticeable from the street…Bob spent a good deal of effort designing a system that addressed our concerns about aesthetics and it shows!
At some point in the future I will want battery storage, and Bob will be the first person I call!“
-Ben Pearce – Lewiston, NY homeowner
“I would have to say that Bob and Go Solar is the best solar company. They made the process unbelievably easy. From start to finish everything went great and we love our system. We are very happy with our choice to go with Go Solar and we definitely recommend them to everyone.“
-Matthew Jones – Ransomville, NY homeowner
“Go Solar was prompt and professional throughout the planning, install, and wrap up stages of this rather large residential project. I would highly recommend them.”
-Michael F. Lewis, Ph.D. – Niagara Falls, NY homeowner
“I was in the market for a whole home battery backup system (to pair with my existing 30 solar panels). I needed to find someone who had the knowledge, experience and, equally as important, was able to commit to installation prior to the end of federal tax credits expiring. Contacted several contractors and chose Go Solar WNY. Am happy that I did. Bob managed the project efficiently as he worked with partners from other required areas (equipment suppliers, electricians, etc.) and got the job done on time and on budget. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bob and Go Solar to others looking for solar-related work to be done. By the way, have already had two power outages this winter and the Enphase system worked flawlessly.“
-Stuart Urban – North Java, NY homeowner
“We highly recommend Bob and Go Solar WNY. We are very pleased with the entire project. He made the process very easy. He listened to our objectives and tailored a solar ground array / battery system to meet our goals.
Greatly appreciated his personal one on one 5 star customer service which doesn’t end when the project is completed! You don’t have to deal with a multitude of people. You are not just a job number with Go Solar.
Bob made this endeavor painless and enabled us to be “self- sufficient”! If you are considering solar power, make Go Solar WNY your first call. You’ll not only get a great product but a great education!
Thank you, Go Solar WNY.“
-Joe and Kathy S. – Barker, NY homeowner
“I was impressed from the very beginning of my project right through to PTO (permission to operate). Bob and his entire staff are true professionals. Correspondence was always timely, and the project status was consistently communicated. The crew was organized, focused on their work, and courteous. After installation, they left without a trace—all scrap and shipping materials went with them.
It was a true pleasure to work with Bob, the owner of Go Solar WNY. He is passionate about his work, always available to answer questions, and personally managed my project from the initial design to the final installation and PTO. Do not hesitate to reach out to Bob at Go Solar WNY. You will not be disappointed, especially with electric rates continuing to increase.”
-Travis Eckler – Lancaster, NY homeowner
“I remember years ago when the installation of solar panels connected to the electrical grid was a very difficult process. When I first talked with Bob Timkey he was very clear about the cost and procedure of installing panels on my rooftop. Bob kept me up to date on the permitting needed from several entities including NYSERDA, National Grid, and the Town of Newfane. If we had an appointment Bob was on time and prepared including the actual installation, inspections, and new meter install. Bob Timkey delivers on his promises and my solar panels are producing excellent results.”
-Mr. Neidlinger – Newfane, NY homeowner
“We haven’t paid for power since the start of summer and have a bank of over 1800 kWh to get us through snowy winter days. Thanks, Go Solar!”
-Michael & Serena Lubacz picked Go Solar WNY for their rooftop solar panel installation in West Seneca, NY
“Matthew Stock of Clarence, NY selected Go Solar WNY to install his 11.34 kW rooftop solar array including critter guard fencing to prevent squirrels, who had previously made a home on his roof, from nesting under his solar array.”
-Matthew Stock picked Go Solar WNY for their rooftop solar panel installation in Clarence, NY
“Amazing job, well done. From start to finish Go Solar did an amazing job explaining everything if full detail. Made the project simple and painless with no surprises. The whole job turned out perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone looking for solar.“
-Kevin Shoemaker – Akron, NY homeowner
“A great big THANK YOU to Bob and the folks at Go Solar WNY! I was looking for someone to help restore my solar panel system after I lost part of the barn roof and 20 solar panels in a straight- line wind event last Spring. I called several companies but no one called me back. Then I found Bob. He and his crew came out to assess the situation then, six weeks later, they came to ensure it was safe to hook up the remaining 24 panels on the opposite side of the roof so I at least had a partial system up and running. When scheduling permitted, he was back to hook up the rest of the solar panels – a full 4-5 months BEFORE he had planned on doing so. As I found, solar companies want to install systems but servicing them is a different story. I was so fortunate to find Bob Timkey! He is someone who will go the extra mile to ensure folks have solar panel systems that work. If you are need of a solar system, Bob Timkey is the guy to call.“
-Donna Rhodey – Lyndonville, NY homeowner
49.2 kW Rooftop Solar Array in Lockport, NY. This array will produce energy to offset power to this family’s home, business, and horse barn.
“Awesome company. It’s nice to work with people that are experts in their craft.“
-Butch Gedraitis – Akron, NY homeowner & Owner/Operator of Diverse Technologies
“Bob at Go Solar WNY was great to work with. We’re pleased with our solar panels!“
-Elizabeth Duffy – East Amherst, NY homeowner
“Was looking to install solar panels and found Go Solar WNY knowledgeable and helpful! From explaining the process to establishing feasibility to coordinating installation, Go Solar WNY was there with assistance when needed. Many thanks to Bob Timkey who was our representative from Go Solar WNY.”
-Don Stonish – Amherst, NY homeowner
“This spring Go Solar installed a solar system on my new metal roof. Prior to installing the new roof I had two estimates for having GAF solar shingles installed. After talking with Bob Timkey at Go Solar I discovered I could get a superior system for about the same cost if I went with solar panels versus solar shingles.
I highly recommend Bob Timkey, the owner of Go Solar. He was more helpful and knowledgeable than the other people I contacted about having a solar system installed. He was there every step of the way from getting the permits to doing the installation and passing the inspections. The panels match the color of the roof and look fantastic from the street. Every thing is working flawlessly.
I am very pleased I made the decision to have Go Solar install my system. Give Bob a call before you decide to go with some other company. You will be glad you did.“
-Ronald Parkhurst – Marilla, NY homeowner
“I’d recommend Bob and Go Solar WNY to absolutely anyone interested in getting a solar array installed. I did extensive research in Fall 2023 and got bids from several local installers. Bob was by far the best considering he was my point of contact from start to finish throughout the design and install.
His crew were friendly and professional and did great work installing the array. Even after install, Bob was so helpful in understanding my NYSEG bill and making sure my billing was looking correct and helped explain everything. I’m very happy with my investment and with the current federal and state tax credits available, it’s a great deal that will save us over $1,000 a year on electric and break even on install cost 15 or so years into the 25+ year life of the system. I got it installed in March and monthly have not paid more than the $20 service charge and $8ish consumer benefit contribution fee charged by NYSEG. The excess energy production during the summer will likely cover our needs through the lower production winter months.”
-Laura Masse – Lockport, NY homeowner
“Great experience working with Bob and the Go Solar Crew. I would say, if you are thinking about it, then get ahold of them and do it.”
– Allan Rudolph – Cuba, NY homeowner
“You nailed it! I just got the NYSEG report from our second 12-month billing cycle. I paid less than $10 for electricity last year!!”
– Scott Wymyczak – Town of Royalton, NY homeowner
“Process was very smooth. The owner was very informative throughout the process. He let me know what to expect and what was needed. Go Solar WNY was able to get my system installed and running sooner than the agreed upon date. Very pleased with the service!“
-Lucas Almeter – Machias, NY homeowner
“Bob was great and wanted to make sure there were no questions left unanswered. When we add a battery in the future we will be reaching out to Bob again. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for solar. Thanks again Bob!“
-Patrick Doty – Lockport, NY homeowner
“Go Solar WNY had very many positive reviews and that is why I contacted Bob when searching for a solar installer. I found out why he had so many positive reviews.
During the process of getting the plan approved with local permits a favorable neighbor passed away and estate representatives caused a postponement of permits. This made getting everything installed and operational by the 12/31/2025 federal tax credit deadline questionable.
Well Bob got to work over the week-end and came up with a new plan that would fast track the process. He and his team got the job done well before the tax credit deadline. My system is online and working well. I can’t say enough about how glad I am that I selected Bob at Go Solar for our project.
I might add that our system was on a new building that required a new electric service installation, new pole, and tie into the grid.
Quite a bit of work to get done, and they got it done.”
-Herbert Linderman – Barker, NY home & business owner
“I couldn’t be happier with the solar battery backup system installed by Go Solar WNY. Bob worked with me to accommodate getting the system installed on short notice. He and his crew were punctual, knowledgeable and ensured that everything was setup perfectly.
The quality of work exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Go Solar WNY for any solar or battery backup needs.“
-Mark Beauharnois – Lockport, NY homeowner
Mr. Pipiles built his family’s home with his own two hands in the mid-1990’s, and entrusted Go Solar WNY to install his rooftop solar array. We were honored to work on his beautiful, hand-crafted home.
“Go Solar WNY did a great job. Clean up was impeccable and the solar system works exactly as promised.”
-William Pipiles – Newfane, NY homeowner
“Bob and the team from Go Solar WNY installed quality equipment in a professional manner. Now into the 4th year of solar energy, each year the system has produced more than calculated.
Despite our winters, Western New York is a good place for solar energy production. Adding solar to our home and working with Go Solar WNY has been a good investment.”
-Charlie Watson – Lewiston, NY homeowner
“Bob did a great job squeezing in our install before the end of the year and did a great job communicating during each step of the process. Saw savings right away on my power bills even in the middle of winter.”
– Justin Kraft – Youngstown, NY homeowner
