2026 will mark a major transition year for the solar industry. As TPO and PPA sales become the dominant lending method, installers will face thinner margins and stricter approval standards. Success will depend on how efficiently companies can generate compliant, approved designs — and that’s where Artemis sets the new standard, producing TPO/PPA-approved proposals in under 15 seconds.

The Challenge: Thinner Margins, Higher Expectations

With the ITC going away, solar companies cannot afford to lose deals. Many sales teams are losing deals simply because they can’t deliver accurate quotes fast enough.

Every additional step — designer handoffs, accuracy reviews, or second appointments — adds friction and cost. Soft costs already account for roughly two-thirds of total installed costs, so any extra touchpoint directly eats into margin.

The Solution: 15-Second, TPO/Approved-Approved Designs

Artemis generates instant proposals for cash, loan, TPO, and PPA systems — in just 15 seconds.Built and validated by real solar engineers, the platform is trusted by major lenders and approved by DNV and Energy Trust for accuracy and compliance.

• Instant TPO/PPA-approved designs
• Validated by DNV & Energy Trust
• Up to 75% lower soft costs
• Unlimited users, revisions, and DocuSigns included

Installers using Artemis report up to a 35% increase in close rates, since homeowners can now receive a proposal instantly — no need for follow-up calls or manual redesigns.

“We saw an immediate impact. Our teams were closing faster, and our cost per proposal dropped by more than 70%. Artemis fundamentally changed how we sell solar.”
