John Kirkman
“Artisan did a great job installing our solar panels. We had a Tesla battery back up installed so we won't run out of power during an outage. We talked to a friend of ours who had their panels installed by Artisan & they were very satisfied w/ their work. We are happy w/our install. Can't wait to see our 1st bill from PSE. Love looking at the app & seeing how much energy we are storing up for winter. Everyone was great to work with & explained how it all worked.”
Elizabeth Hernandez
“After getting 3 quotes to have solar panels installed, I went with Artisan. Jeff Bennett did such a thorough job of walking me through all the details, process and calculations to meet our energy needs. We replaced the roof first, and they connected with the roofing company directly to insure the proper decking was installed on the areas where the panels were being installed.”
Glenn Space
“The Artisan Electric Team was outstanding from initial consult to final installation. They completed the project ahead of schedule and left the worksite as they found it! They even brought their own Porta-potty. Our Electric bill is now next to nothing! The system worked flawlessly during two power outages!”
Paul Martinez

Common Questions About Home Battery Backup
How long can a battery power my home?
It depends on the system size and what you choose to back up. Most homeowners power essentials for 12–24+ hours, and larger systems can support whole-home backup for even longer.
What happens during a power outage?
Your system automatically switches to battery power in milliseconds, no manual steps or generators required. Your home stays powered and, if you have solar, your panels continue charging the battery while the grid is down.
How does a battery lower my electric bill?
You can store energy when rates are low and use it during expensive peak hours. This reduces how much high-cost power you buy from the utility and protects you from rising electricity rates.
Are there battery financial incentives?
Battery storage often qualifies for significant financial benefits, including local utility incentive programs like Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Flex Program.
What is the installation process?
Carefully guiding you through every step, we make it easy from start to finish with our full-service, turnkey approach.
Step 1: 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.
Step 2: 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.
Step 3: 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.
Step 4: System Installation & Start Up
Our skilled installation team gets to work, culminating in a thorough system startup and commissioning process.
Step 5: 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.
