About
Meet Phil.
I'm Phil Audet, a B.Eng. graduate in Sustainable Energy Engineering and founder of Arbrū Solar Brewery, an award-winning craft brewery recognized as Canada's first solar-powered brewpub. I've built and operated a commercial off-grid solar and battery system, bringing renewable energy technology beyond theory and into everyday business operations. Today, through Phil The Solar Guy, I help solar, battery, and inverter manufacturers showcase their products with authentic testing, engaging videos, educational content, and real-world engineering experience. Our story has been featured by CTV News, Global News, Ottawa Business Journal, SustainableBiz Canada, and other publications.
