Find out if solar is right for your home or business.
Solar & Battery Proposal
01
Consultation & Qualification
The process begins with an initial conversation to evaluate the solar potential and understand the specific energy goals of your home or business. By reviewing your historical utility data, our experts determine if your property is a good candidate for a high-efficiency solar or battery storage system.
02
Preliminary Design & Proposal
Using advanced satellite imagery and specialized software, a custom preliminary layout is created to estimate your future energy production. We then provide a detailed proposal that outlines the projected system costs, available incentives and rebates, and the long-term return on your investment.
03
Site Evaluation & Finalize Proposal
Finally, one of our technical experts will visit your property to conduct a comprehensive audit. We’ll verify your roof’s integrity (or ground mount site) as well as assess your electrical setup to ensure the system design is perfect. No guesswork—just a technically sound plan ready for permitting.
Solar & Battery Installation Process
01
Pre-Installation Planning
Your dedicated Artisan Electric project manager hosts a detailed planning meeting to confirm scope, schedule, equipment, and any electrical upgrades needed. This is where your design, utility requirements, and build plan are fully aligned to ensure your project runs smoothly.
02
Permitting & Utility Interconnection
Artisan prepares and submits all electrical permits, structural plans, and utility interconnection applications for both grid-tied and battery backup systems. Our in-house, union-certified electrical team coordinates directly with local jurisdictions and utilities in Western Washington, reducing delays and ensuring your system is approved the first time.
03
Project Scheduling & Logistics
Once approvals are in motion, we lock in your installation dates and handle all on-site logistics—including material delivery and any planned utility disconnects. Your dedicated scheduler keeps you informed of key milestones so you know exactly what to expect and when crew members will be on site.
04
System Installation & Start Up
Our skilled installation team gets to work, culminating in a thorough system startup and commissioning process.
05
Utility Permission to Energize & Support
After the system passes the electrical inspection and receives permission to operate from the utility, you’ll be able to energize your system and reap the benefits of your new solar or battery system.
