We have lived off grid for thirty years. Our original installer retired and Renewable Energy Outfitters stepped in when we needed service. This past spring we decided to upgrade the entire system. Aaron and his two employees did a superb job. We do not have a single complaint. Aaron Mandelkorn is a superb example of how a business marketing and installing and servicing solar and also wind power should operate. We would recommend Renewable Energy Outfitters above any other company in this part of Colorado.

Exceptional installation-on time and budget
REO installed a 12 panel installation on our roof in Salida. They were here when they said they would. REO's owner was on site when needed and the installation on our steep roof was professionally done. REO's employees were diligent in their work and were each of them was experienced in the work. We could not be more pleased.

Service was great!
Your service was great and I look forward to longer days when I am really generating power. It is also cool to go online and check out what the system is providing.

Great experience
Aaron of REO was a knowledgeable and professional throughout my solar project. He showed up in person for the initial on sight estimate. I wanted to go with a local installer and Aaron was great to work with. His estimate and final costs were the same.

Great job - completed before “winter†set in.

Great new battery bank
My system needed new batteries. Aaron of REO came out to estimate the work needed and then again for the installation. He did exactly what he said he would do, when he said he would, and for the price he quoted. He and his team were prompt, polite, proficient and tidy. No complaints from me!! I'll call REO again.

Outstanding experience
REO (Aaron) did a new off-grid solar project for our new year-round family residence. He was very thorough in his bid, answered all of our questions, and stayed in constant contact throughout the project. The project was completed as bid and as expected. I only wish all of my building project contractors were as pleasant to work with as REO and Aaron. I have recommended him to others and will use him again for some of our future renewable energy plans.

Couldn't Ask For More
Aaron delivered on every promise made. He was prompt, efficient, courteous - and a damn nice guy. It's a year later and our system is working perfectly.

Ranch Solar upgrade
I had Aaron upgrade my off grid system at a ranch outside Salida. He did a very professional job in removing the old panels and installing a new mount, rack, panels, charge controller, and wiring. It now has more power than the 2 racks of older panels that were taken out of service. He also adjusted all the parameters on my existing inverter, including the auto generator start. I would have no issue with using him again for any future upgrades or new equipment.

The Extra Mile
Aaron came a long way to my cabin to replace me solar system at a reasonable rate after making an initial consult. I recommend his company without any hesitation.

Solar Bus Installation
REO purchased, installed, and programmed a PV solar installation on my 2001 Bluebird Bus. It works great and could not be happier!

Upgrade to old residential system
Very professional job done on upgrading my off grid system with new panels and charge controller. New system had less panels and more output. the batteries are now being charged fully. Aaron really knows the technical end of the work. I highly recommend his company to anyone needing a new or upgraded system.

Roof Mount PV
I had a very positive experience with Aaron at Renewable Energy Outfitters. I'd long thought about solar energy, but not being a pro, rejected the idea of doing my own work. I phoned Aaron, who came out to plan the job and to make an estimate. Soon, I had a shipment of panels beside my house and in a few days they were being mounted! Very importantly, Aaron dealt with my electric coop about this grid-tie system--I would not have known how. It's worked perfectly since. I traded money upfront for a much lower electric bill, and I'd do it again.

Reeves Photovoltaic Installation
Aaron did a very clean pole mount installation here behind my shop and we kept the Inverter on the shop wall with a direct run to the Grid tie meter. It is working perfectly and we are getting the expected output. We have two electric cars here now and are delighted to be "refueling" our cars with the Sun. Thanks Aaron

Dependable and knowledgeable
I highly recommend Renewable Energy Outfitters. Aaron installed an RV solar system for me. I am able to run off-grid while camping and keep my food cold with a 12v fridge. Amazing. Keep up the excellent work.

Personal, friendly, professionalism
This is what you want from all your vendors: personalized service, great attitude/personality/friendliness, meticulous installation, great ongoing communications, expert advice without arrogance, help with permitting/rebates/other contractors/etc. This was just plain perfect service!

REO review
Aaron is easy to work with, committed to service and straightforward. Everything went up quickly and without any problems including coordinating the grid tie.

Bonanza job
We did a fairly large off grid system with Aaron that was tied into the grid since it was available. The system type is not popular with Xcel energy since they prefer grid addiction and the owner of our project wanted independence during grid breakdown. Aaron was able to walk through the paperwork and less than cooperative system and get us finished up on schedule and at quoted cost. He worked efficiently and accomodated some quirky demands that made our system as bullet proof as technology allows. Kirby OAK Const.Salida

Off Grid Residential
Aaron, designed my first solar system, after a few tweeks I'm happy and am enjoying not having an electric bill. Aaron was willing to educate me and answer my numerous questions. Thanks, Dell

Solar PV installation
Renewable Energy Outfitters advised us about our PV installation, listening to our questions, goals and budget considerations. The work was on time, on budget, and the installation was very well done. We have nothing but praise for REO! Ed and Paula Berg

Great Job
This is my first Solar PV system, so I had a million and one questions I needed answered. Always felt like I was treated as a valued customer. I ended up with a system that completely meets my needs in every way. I would (and have) recommend Renewable Energy Outfitters to anyone considering a Solar system.

My go to renewable energy outfitter.
Out of several renewable energy companies to choose from in the area, REO was my first and only choice to go with. Aaron provide friendly, quality advise and the photovoltaic system that he design and sold me was very reasonably priced. I enjoyed working with him and will use him again on my next solar installation.

We LOVE our solar!!
Once up and running, our system has supplied all of the electric energy we use. The rate of return on our investment is about 15 times that of any CD. The utility has sent us about $300 more than we've sent them (OH,YES!). And we can feel good about helping protect the environment.
