Gus's Solar in Texas

Gus’s Solar in Texas

Gus’s Solar brings owner-operated solar installation to Texas homeowners who are tired of guessing who will actually show up on their roof. Gus Petrakis puts his own name on the truck, runs your real utility bill through year-25 numbers, and tells you to take two weeks before you sign anything. Across Texas, from the Hill Country to the Panhandle, the promise is the same: no out-of-state sales crew, no paperwork that vanishes the morning after install, and one call brings Gus back when something needs attention. As part of the Locally family, every Gus’s Solar job carries our guarantee - the owner’s name, a real address, and a price that does not change between the phone call and the invoice.

Why Texas Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar

Texas has been flooded with solar door-knockers. They quote one number on the phone, another at the kitchen table, and by the time your inverter throws a code the number has stopped working. Gus Petrakis built his business the opposite way. He started Gus’s Solar in 2011, locally owned since day one, and he is still the one who answers when you call.

Here is how it works. Gus pulls your actual utility bill, not a brochure estimate, and shows you real production numbers out to year twenty-five. The price he says is the price on the invoice - no-hassle upfront pricing, period. His crew is background-checked and uniformed, and they are his crew, not a sub he found that morning. Every roof penetration gets flashed properly because Gus’s name is on the truck and he lives twenty minutes away from the people he serves.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every job. If it is not right, Gus makes it right. No ticketing queue, no voicemail runaround. A live person answers the phone 24/7, and when something needs fixing, Gus is the one who calls you back. He works with the equipment brands that last - Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, SunPower, Panasonic, Qcells, REC, Canadian Solar, JinkoSolar, and FranklinWH - and he monitors your system after install so a drop in production does not sit unnoticed for months.

Texas homeowners between 50 and 70 in small towns and rural counties know the difference. They have already been burned once. They will pay a fair price for a name they can verify at the county clerk’s office, a face they will see again at the hardware store, and a company that is not going to disappear the morning after the system goes live.

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 plates, tripled quotes, dead phone numbers. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes - local area code, drivable address, owner’s name and face, license number you can look up - and any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.

Gus’s Solar meets it. The L.O.C.A.L. values code is how we operate: Local roots with an address in this county, not a call center three states away; On time with a window we keep; Community first, hiring and buying here; Accountable, with the owner answering the phone and putting his name on the work; Loyal, keeping you for twenty years instead of chasing one big ticket. Every Gus’s Solar installation across Texas carries this guarantee - the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says is the price on the invoice.
