Gus’s Solar in Mississippi
Gus’s Solar brings owner-operated solar installation to homeowners across Mississippi, from the Delta to the Pine Belt and every county in between. We’re part of the Locally family because Gus Petrakis put his own name on the truck, published his shop address, and said “here is my cell” before any customer had to ask. That is the entire standard. When you call about solar in Mississippi, a live person answers - no after-hours voicemail, no ticketing queue, no call center three states away. Gus quotes your system off your actual utility bill, shows you real year-25 production numbers, and tells you to take two weeks before you sign anything. Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing, backed by the Locally guarantee that the price on the phone is the price on the invoice.
Why Mississippi Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Mississippi homeowners between 50 and 70 have learned the hard way about solar crews that roll through with out-of-state plates and a quote that somehow triples by the time they reach your door. Gus started Gus’s Solar in 2011 because he watched the same thing happen to neighbors in his own community. Eleven years later, he is still the one who answers when something goes wrong - not a warranty hotline, not a sub who has never seen your roof.
Our background-checked, uniformed technicians are Gus’s own crew. They flash every roof penetration properly, they do not hand the work off to a stranger, and you know who is on your roof before they get there. We install equipment we trust to last: Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, SunPower, Panasonic, Qcells, REC, Canadian Solar, JinkoSolar, and FranklinWH. The math is built off your actual bill, not a brochure estimate, and the number you see is the number you pay. No signature wanted tonight. No “tonight only” discount that evaporates tomorrow.
Here is what separates Gus from the door-knockers: when your inverter throws a code in year eight, Gus is the one who calls you. He monitors your system. He lives twenty minutes away from the people he serves. Ask anyone on your street - in a small Mississippi town, running into your contractor again on a Saturday is the oldest accountability mechanism there is. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it is not right, we make it right, and one call brings Gus back. That is not marketing language. It is in writing on every solar job.
We have been proudly serving local communities for over 29 years as part of the Locally family. Gus’s shop has a published address, a license number you can look up, and an owner whose name is on the building. Not a pop-up sales crew. Not a national outfit that vanishes after the paperwork.
Backed by the Locally Family
Locally started in 1997 when a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state truck, tripled quote, disconnected number. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes - local area code, real address, owner’s name and face, license number you can look up - and any company that would publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.
The L.O.C.A.L. values code is how we live it: Local roots - an address in this county, not a call center three states away; On time - the window we give you is the window; Community first - we hire here, we buy here; Accountable - the owner answers the phone and puts his name on the work; Loyal - we would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. Gus’s Solar honors that code on every Mississippi job. The person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. That is the Locally promise, and it is how we make “are you actually local?” a question you can answer before you call, not after you have been burned.
