New in Artemis: Automatic Fire Setbacks, Irradiance Layering, and Assisted Roof Outlines
Artemis just rolled out three critical features to make designs safer, smarter, and more convincing all while cutting design time and reducing costly mistakes. Here’s what’s new and why it matters.
Automatic Fire Setbacks
What it does:
Applies required fire setbacks spacing instantly
No measuring, guessing, or manual cleanup
Panels auto-adjust to stay within compliant zones
Ensures faster AHJ approvals and cleaner designs
Why it matters:
Makes every layout safer and code-compliant by default
Prevents setbacks from being missed or applied incorrectly
Streamlines plan set approval and avoids costly revisions
Irradiance Layer
What it does: Visual overlay that shows solar exposure across every roof surface.
Highlights high and low sunlight zones in real time
Helps place panels where they’ll perform best
Improves accuracy of system sizing and production forecasts
Flags weak solar areas before designs go out
Why it matters:
The irradiance layer ensures that every panel goes where it’ll deliver maximum value.
Reduces redesigns from underperforming arrays
Gives reps confidence in production estimates
Enables smarter panel placement with one quick glance
Assisted Roof Outlines
What it does:
Suggests roof edges as you trace
Auto-snaps start and end points for clean closures
Prevents drawing mistakes and uneven lines
Especially useful for complex roof shapes
Why it matters: Accurate roof outlines are the foundation of every solar design but drawing them manually can be tedious and error-prone. Assisted Roof Outlines makes it fast, accurate, and easy.
Cuts down layout creation time
Improves design precision without slowing reps down
Reduces training time for new users
These updates are part of Artemis’ ongoing commitment to make solar proposals faster, smarter, and more complete.
