Gus’s Solar in Oklahoma
Gus Petrakis runs Gus’s Solar across Oklahoma with his own name on the truck and a shop you can drive to. We’re talking real solar panel installation, battery backup systems, and honest year-25 production estimates built off your actual OG&E or PSO bill, not some brochure guess. Gus tells every homeowner the same thing: take two weeks, sleep on it, call me with questions. No signature wanted tonight. That’s the promise Oklahoma homeowners get from Gus’s Solar as part of the Locally family. We’re not here for the one-time sale. We’re here for the twenty-year relationship, and that starts with treating you like a neighbor, not a quota.
Why Oklahoma Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Oklahoma’s wind and hail get plenty of attention, but our sun is just as serious. Gus has been sizing systems for Oklahoma roofs since 2011, and he’ll tell you straight: a south-facing array in Canadian County performs differently than one tucked under pecan trees in eastern Oklahoma, and your quote should reflect that. He climbs up, measures the shading himself, and builds the math off your real usage history. The number you see is the number you pay. Period.
Here’s what separates Gus from the door-knocker crews that rolled through after the 2023 storms. Those outfits quoted one price on the phone, jacked it at the door, and good luck finding them when a microinverter failed. Gus does the opposite. His 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job. If something’s not right, one call brings him back. Not a ticketing queue, not a call center three states away. Gus’s cell.
His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and they work for him. Not subs, not day laborers. They flash every roof penetration properly because Gus is the one who answers when you call at 7 PM worried about a leak. And somebody does answer, 24 hours a day. A live person. No voicemail, no “press 1 for solar.” Try that with a national outfit.
Gus carries the equipment brands that last: Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, SolarEdge, SunPower, Panasonic, Qcells, REC, Canadian Solar, JinkoSolar, and FranklinWH. He’ll tell you which one fits your roof and your budget, not which one pays him the spiff. That’s the Locally way. Ask anyone who’s had him out. Or ask Gus yourself. He lives twenty minutes from his shop, and he’ll be there himself.
Backed by the Locally Family
Locally started in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, 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 address. Owner’s name and face. License you can look up. Phone answered by a person. Gus’s Solar carries that standard across Oklahoma because Gus Petrakis puts his own name on every job. The Locally family doesn’t sell “solutions” or “partnerships.” We sell the answer to the only question that matters: are you actually local? With Gus, you are. And he’ll still be here when your system’s old enough to vote.
