The Importance of Initial Assessment
Why Assessing Your Property Matters
Our site evaluation is one of our biggest differentiators in this land of satellite imagery and AI. Our solar experts look at your site conditions for crew parking, safe roof access, equipment storage, and other hazards. We assess your electrical panel to ensure it can handle the electrical backfeed. Need an upgraded service panel? Our experts can include that option.
We capture site measurements, roof measurements, shade values, and sun access through our online tools or drone modeling when necessary. Without this step we couldn’t offer our 25 year performance guarantee! You also get to create rapport with Artisan, ask us all of the technical questions that come to mind, and learn why we’re recommending certain equipment over others. Because we are so thorough before we ask for your business, we can avoid change orders and costly add-ons. Trust us, you don’t want to skip this step. Be wary of companies that don’t physically visit your property.
Crafting Your Solar Solution
During the design phase, our team at Artisan Electric Inc. tailors a solar solution that perfectly fits your property. We consider the unique weather patterns, ensuring your system is optimized for both sunny and overcast days. Our experts analyze your roof’s structure and sun exposure and productivity.
We utilize satellite and drone modeling to capture roof measurements accurate down to the inch. We also capture the sun access values accounting for azimuth, pitch, & shade so that we can design aesthetically pleasing, high performing solar systems.
Our design process is all about personalization. We understand that every home is different, and so is every solar solution. By factoring in your energy needs and roof characteristics, we create a system that not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Our goal is to make your transition to solar as smooth and beneficial as possible.

Inspection and Grid Connection
Ensuring a Smooth Transition to Solar Power
Before your solar system can be energized and provide power to your home, a series of crucial inspections must happen. First A local electrical inspector will review the installation to confirm everything is National Electrical Code(NEC) compliant. Once your system passes the electrical inspection we can now schedule the utility inspection and obtain approval to energize your system. Once you receive approval from the utility company you can turn your system on and start reaping the benefits of safely generating your own clean, renewable electricity for decades to come. Congratulations, and thank you for your commitment to renewable energy!
