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.”
MJ McDermott
“We had solar panels installed on our roof in July, and I have nothing but praise for Artisan Electric & Solar. First, Tom came out with a drone that he flew over our house to take photos so the placement of the panels could be designed.”
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!”
Dmitry Alexeenko

Sales & Installation Process
Carefully guiding you through every step, we make it easy from start to finish with our full-service, turnkey approach.
Step 1: Consultation & Qualification The process begins with a phone call to assess your site’s solar potential and clarify your project goals. This helps us understand what matters most to you, whether it’s maximizing energy savings, increasing energy resilience, or preparing for future upgrades.
Step 2: Preliminary Design & Proposal Next, we provide a customized preliminary design and proposal that outlines system options including size, location, estimated production, and projected costs. This also includes available incentives and rebates to give you a full picture of your investment.
Step 3: Site Evaluation Before finalizing the proposal and contract, we conduct a comprehensive on-site evaluation to identify and address potential issues—such as difficult access, outdated or undersized electrical panels, and other site specific conditions that may impact the amount of time and materials needed to complete your installation. This step is cornerstone of our process because it helps minimize unexpected change orders before, during, and after your installation.
Step 4: Contract & Project Handoff Once under contract, your dedicated sales representative will transition your project to our project management team through a detailed contract intake meeting, officially moving your project into the installation phase.
Solar Incentives & Financing
30% Commercial Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
Under Section 48E, businesses can deduct nearly a third of their solar and energy storage investment directly from their federal tax liability. To qualify for the full rate, projects must adhere to specific prevailing wage and apprenticeship standards.

For customers living in King, Kitsap, Jefferson, and Clallam counties, they receive a $2,000 rebate. The process is simple, and be sure to ask about their EV rebates as well.
