Brian Maillet

Owner and CEO of Renewable Energy Evolution

When you bring your heart and soul into a solar project, as ARF does, positive results follow. We had the pleasure of working with ARF to complete solar arrays on a carport and ground-mounted system for a school district, as well as rooftop systems for a fire station, a church, and a multi-tenant, low-income housing building. There were challenges along the way, but Austin and his team overcame them in a highly professional manner.

ARF has consistently delivered on their commitments. The quality of their work has been evident in every project they've handled for us. Our experience with them has been reliably positive, and we value the partnership. When challenges inevitably arise—because they always do in construction—ARF has been quick to address them head-on. They don't shy away from issues; they deliver solutions. That problem-solving approach is one more reason why our partnership has been both dependable and long-lasting. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and tackling future opportunities together.
