Since 1997, we have been designing and installing solar power systems in Western Washington. Our experience and commitment to clean energy and our communities has fueled our sustainable success. Here are a few reasons why customers choose Artisan Electric.
Union Craftsmanship & Guaranteed Quality
The largest licensed IBEW Local 46 solar & electrical contractor we focus on:
- Premium Safety and Workmanship: Our union labor is the clearest proof of premium quality. While competitors rely on subcontractors, we use in-house IBEW electricians, ensuring your home or facility meets the highest electrical safety and workmanship standards.
- Strongest Warranty: We offer one of Western Washington’s strongest performance and workmanship warranties, backed by the IBEW Local 46 Union, giving you crucial peace of mind that a discount competitor cannot provide.
Expert Electrification General Contractor
We are a full home and facility electrification provider, uniquely combining all necessary services under one roof.
- Complete Solutions: We are the Puget Sound’s largest union-based contractor, handling solar, battery backup, EV charging, SPAN and panel upgrades, and O&M.
- Single-Source Partner: One expert team manages complexity, simplifying permitting, utility interconnection, and inspections. You get a single specialist partner rather than juggling solar firms and general electricians.
Everyday Value Price & Best Long-Term ROI
We hold a firm line against price wars. Our focus is on the lowest cost of energy over the system life, not the lowest upfront bid.
- Focus on Creating Sustainable Value: We provide clear financial models that show 20–25-year ROI, Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and projected $/kWh guaranteed over the system life.
- Hedge Against Risk: Help customers leverage solar and electrification as strategic assets that hedge against rising PSE/SCL rates and regulatory risk.
Engineering for Long-Term Resilience
Our designs are grid-aware and focus on the future utility landscape, protecting against outages and rate shocks
| The Challenge | Artisan Expertise |
|---|---|
| Rising, Variable Utility Rates | We design using Time-of-Use (TOU) strategies and integrate smart battery storage to hedge against future rate hikes and maximize savings. |
| Grid Instability & Storms | Battery storage, smart controls, and grid-aware design are core, not upsells—focusing on storm resilience and dependable backup power. |
| Looming Policy Shifts | We guide you through new incentives and program structures (like PSE’s Flex Batteries and net metering changes) , even helping with the paperwork, to ensure your investment maximizes returns under new policies. |
Premium Artisan Designs
Solar should enhance your property’s value and aesthetics. Our Master Electricians & solar experts thrive on designing bespoke solar power systems that others can’t match. This expertise means custom engineering for difficult rooflines, navigating challenging structural constraints, and delivering solutions that demand unparalleled aesthetic integration and maximum energy density.
