Our President and Founder, Tyler Uebelhoer, knew the solar energy industry was for him from the start.
Working in the Western New York construction industry and as an electrician for a dozen years as well as growing up in Wyoming County surrounded by entrepreneurs, he knew building a clean energy company that created greater value for customers and more jobs for Buffalonians like him was what he was born to do.
You can tell he’s made for this business because he’s rarely behind his desk. He’s onsite at customers’ properties personally doing site assessments, providing thoughtful consultations, elbow deep in the installs, or out in the community building partnerships with other leaders in this industry.
That’s how Tyler’s wife and co-owner, Alicia Uebelhoer felt about Tyler’s vision. Alicia, with her classically Canadian people skills of friendliness and graciousness, has been the face and heart of Buffalo Solar’s marketing and customer service from the start.
Happily investing their life savings into this venture, Tyler and Alicia turned their South Buffalo living room into the first Buffalo Solar office, and hired their first employee who is still with the company.Today, the operations have grown substantially beyond their home and they now enjoy expansive, modern facilities.
If you have a great work ethic, think well on your feet and you’re great with people, Buffalo Solar may be a great career move.Maybe you’ve been told you’re a super hero of installation or that you have better customer service skills than that gecko on the insurance company commercials, we’re a place where dedication and hard work pays off.
