"As a designer and manufacturer of golf simulators trusted by the pros, we wanted to identify a solar provider with the same commitment to excellence and customer service," said Full Swing Partner and Senior Vice President, Brian Arnold. "We did a lot of homework. After meeting with a number of representatives, Baker Electric Solar had the best reputation. They came to the table with an innovative and highly customized solution.
