Workmanship Warranty

SOLAR WARRANTY

Artisan Electric warrantees all of our mechanical and electrical workmanship. If there is any issue with your solar PV system due to our workmanship, we will correct the problem and any damage resulting from it at no cost to the customer for 25 years from the date of installation. If the system does not produce the amount of power we document in your final solar PV proposal on an annual basis, we will either fix the problem or pay you the difference in lost production annually at current utility rates. The production warranty covers a total of 25 years starting from the date of installation.

Artisan’s production guarantee requires the following conditions be met:
(i) Original system design remains intact. Modification to the PV system, and building/structure, invalidates production guarantee without consultation with solar company. “Original system” includes the entire solar PV system, the main service panel, meters, and service entrance.
(ii) System remains in operation at all times. Prolonged downtime invalidates the guarantee for that year. Temporary outages related to non-solar electrical work are allowed. System must be kept clean from debris, pollen, and moss. Customer may elect to clean system or may hire a qualified cleaning company to conduct regular cleanings as required.
(iii) Monitoring system is required. Customer agrees to allow access to all monitoring data for verification of system operation.
(iv) Maintenance of surrounding vegetation is the customer’s responsibility. The initial solar access study documents the condition of vegetation when solar production estimates were generated. Significant deviation or compromise of
solar access will serve as the benchmark document for all future production claims.
(v) Customer agrees to conduct periodic inspection of the system to verify that equipment is always in operation. Customer to verify that disconnects and inverters are always in “on” position. Customer further agrees to inform solar
contractor whenever the inverter displays a fault code or displays a system error.

Proposal and guarantee assume an annual derate of .5% per year in system energy production.

Artisan will service all manufacturer warrantees for solar equipment. In the event of equipment damage or failure, Artisan will charge the customer for any labor not covered under the manufacturer’s equipment warranty.

Thanks Energysage for the recommendation of Artisan Electric INC

Jeff Bennett (our sale rep) 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. Installation was quick and the team was so professional, great attention to detail, and left my yard clean. The Project Manager walked me through the options of where to run the power down to the box to ensure I was pleased with the location and path! I felt an extra sense of comfort knowing the electricians were highly qualified IBEW members! The inspection went perfect with Seattle Light. We enjoyed working with Jeff and team at Artisan, we recommended them to our friends and they went with them as well! We are now happily generating power, reducing our carbon footprint and love tracking it all on the Enphase APP, we have 27 panels in total.. We were able to get in right at the end of the year and got our 30% refund back in April! Thanks again to a well run team of professionals, working with you was the best decision!! Liz and Randy H.

Artisan Electric Solar Installation

From the initial bids, contractors arriving at our property to assess the feasibility of adding Solar, the process was seamless. We selected Artisan based on the solution they proposed with a lot of details and information about how to make the installation become a reality. Coordinators were promptly looking for an opening on their schedule and installation was completed quickly. Artisan continued to update us throughout the process of both State and Power Company final inspections. Jeff Bennett provided support from front to end of this service. We would highly recommend Artisan if you are considering the transition to Solar.

Exceptional Solar + Tesla Powerwall 3 Installation by Artisan Electric!

Artisan Electric did an amazing job from start to finish on my solar and Tesla Powerwall 3 project. Nikeem took the time to understand my goals, walked me through every step, and made sure my request to use all six Tesla Powerwall 3 MPPTs was built into the design. Nikeem helped me not just during sales but from start to finish. He was exceptionally responsive during end to end process. Isaac, my Project Manager, refined the first design using my feedback to fully optimize performance and layout. He kept everything on schedule. Alex handled all PSE net metering approvals quickly and efficiently — getting my project fully approved in record time. Cameron was fantastic with financing. He coordinated seamlessly with my bank and the vendor, ensuring every document and payment went smoothly. Nick and his crew delivered a very professional installation — neat, detailed, and patient in explaining how everything worked. Finally, June went above and beyond during final interconnection. He hardwired my Powerwall’s internet connection for better reliability and walked me through all the readings in the Tesla One and Tesla apps. After comparing six different installers, I can confidently say Artisan Electric stood out for their expertise, transparency, and customer care. If you want a trustworthy, professional, and experienced solar installer, go with Artisan — they truly set the standard for quality work!

Inverter Broken- poor service

I would have rated Artisan very highly until our recent experience with a broken inverter.The inverter was recommended and installed by Artisan. It is made by Solar Edge and is under warranty. Since mid May 2025 we have been asking them to come out and fix the problem.Only occasionally do they return phone calls and only once sent someone to our home with no advance warning or notice and we were out of town. As the summer sunshine burns away and our electrical bill soars we are not being able to take advantage of the whole reason we installed solar.

Installing a Tesla PowerWall 3

I was looking for a backup power system for my house due to numerous winter power outages ranging from 4-24 hours. Because of close house spacing and small yards(noise), I decided against natural gas powered generators. As I researched solar system battery storage systems, the PowerWall 3 came out. I did not want solar panels but it had the storage and power output that would give me 24 hours of backup. The Artisan electricians were here 2 days. A lot of intricate installation work was needed. They did such a professional job. Did an excellent clean-up. Everything worked perfectly. I just did a test taking the house off-grid and it powered the house for 30 hours(spring-time). Artisan has answered all my questions and I am confident it will work great in the next winter.
