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.
