AfterFast, Reliable Commercial Solar Installation Across Irving
Commercial solar in Irving runs $2.10 to $3.40 per watt installed, meaning a 100 kW warehouse system typically lands between $210,000 and $340,000 before the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit and any Oncor or ERCOT incentives. Most commercial projects in Irving take 8 to 16 weeks from signed contract to interconnection, with the HOA architectural review in Las Colinas adding 60 to 90 days on top of that when applicable. If you own a warehouse, distribution center, or office building in Irving and want real year-25 production numbers off your actual meter data, call Gus’s Solar at (877) 550-6892. We’re a locally owned shop that answers the phone, and we’ll walk your roof before we quote a single number.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Irving’s Preferred Commercial Solar Installation Company
Gus Petrakis founded this company in 2011, and his name is on every truck, every contract, and every warranty we write in Irving. That matters when you’re signing off on a six-figure solar array. We’re not a national outfit that flies in a sales rep, collects a deposit, and hands the work to a subcontractor. Gus’s crew does the install, flashes every roof penetration properly, and shows up in uniform with a face you’ll recognize when we come back for your annual system check.
Our Commercial Solar Installation team has worked in every corner of Irving, from the warehouse corridors along Loop 12 and Belt Line Road to the Las Colinas office parks in 75038 and 75039. We know the difference between a 1970s tilt-wall building in 75060 and a 2005 stucco-faced office complex in 75039. That local knowledge changes how we design systems, size inverters, and price labor. And when you call us, a live person answers, 24/7. Not a voicemail, not a portal. Gus’s cell is on the site visit sheet.
Our Commercial Solar Installation Services in Irving
Commercial Rooftop Solar
Most Irving commercial roofs fall into two categories: flat membrane roofs on tilt-wall warehouses and distribution buildings, or sloped metal and TPO roofs on newer flex-space. We install ballasted and mechanically attached racking systems sized for Irving’s wind uplift requirements, and we spec panels that survive North Texas hail. If your building is in Las Colinas, we’ll factor the ARB review timeline into your schedule before you sign, because that process runs 60 to 90 days and no installer can rush it.
Commercial Battery Storage
A solar array without storage leaves your Irving business exposed the moment ERCOT tightens supply on a 105°F August afternoon. We pair commercial arrays with FranklinWH, Tesla, and SolarEdge battery systems sized to your actual demand curve, not a generic square-footage table. For food-distribution warehouses in Irving where cold-chain uptime is non-negotiable, we typically design for 4 to 6 hours of critical-load coverage. That’s the number that keeps freezers running when the grid wobbles.
Commercial Solar Maintenance
Hail, dust, and bird activity take a real toll on Irving commercial arrays. We offer scheduled semi-annual inspections, thermal imaging for hot spots, and post-storm damage assessments. If a golf-ball-size hail event comes through Irving, call us. We’ll inspect, document, file the warranty claim if needed, and get your array back to full output. Most maintenance visits in Irving are completed same-week.
Solar Carport Installation
If your Irving lot has more asphalt than roof space, carport solar turns parked cars into generating assets. We design carport structures that match Irving’s commercial zoning setbacks and drainage requirements, and we handle the engineering and permitting end to end. Carport arrays in Irving typically run $3.10 to $4.20 per watt installed, reflecting the steel structure and foundation work.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We install and service commercial solar equipment from Enphase, SolarEdge, FranklinWH, and Tesla. These are the names you’ll see on any serious commercial proposal in Irving, and they’re the brands with local distributor support across Dallas-Fort Worth. When an inverter faults on a Saturday at your Irving warehouse, we can often have the replacement part in hand the next business day, because our supply chain runs through local warehouses, not a drop-ship across three states. We’ve also seen enough of each brand’s failure modes to know what to spec for Irving’s hail and heat profile.
Common Commercial Solar Installation Problems We See in Irving
- HOA stop-work orders in Las Colinas. We’ve had Irving commercial owners call us after a cheap installer mounted panels visible from Belt Line Road in 75038. The HOA issued a stop-work order, then required removal and re-filing. That’s a $20,000 to $40,000 mistake we’ve never had to make twice.
- 100-amp service panels in East Irving. Buildings in 75060 and 75061 often still carry 100-amp or 150-amp panels that cannot pass interconnection review for a commercial solar-plus-storage system. Upgrading to a 200-amp or 400-amp panel in Irving adds $1,500 to $3,000 and roughly a week to the schedule. We flag this at the site visit, not after your permit gets rejected.
- Standard hail-rated panels that shatter. Irving sits in the large-hail corridor. Modules rated below IEC 61215 Class 3 fail after the first serious storm, and warranty claims get denied for “acts of God.” We spec Class 3 hail-rated panels on every Irving roof, and we document the rating in your contract.
- Rapid shutdown and interconnection paperwork delays. Oncor’s interconnection queue for Irving commercial projects moves at its own speed, and missing a single line item can stall you for 30 days. We handle rapid shutdown compliance, single-line diagrams, and the full Oncor application package. It’s part of the price, not an upsell.
Pricing for Commercial Solar Installation in Irving, TX
A typical commercial rooftop solar system in Irving runs $2.10 to $3.40 per watt installed before incentives. That puts a 50 kW system at roughly $105,000 to $170,000, a 100 kW system at $210,000 to $340,000, and a 250 kW system at $525,000 to $850,000. Commercial battery storage in Irving adds $650 to $950 per kWh of usable capacity. Carport arrays run higher, $3.10 to $4.20 per watt, because steel and foundations cost real money. Factors that shift your number in Irving: roof age and membrane condition, whether your building is in a Las Colinas HOA with ARB fees and delays, whether East Irving panel upgrades are required, and your Oncor interconnection class. Bring us 12 months of utility bills and we’ll build the quote off your actual consumption and demand charges. If a salesman needs an answer tonight, the answer is no. Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same. Call (877) 550-6892 for a free commercial estimate.

FAQs - Commercial Solar Installation in Irving
Yes. In the Las Colinas master-planned communities (75038-75039), HOA architectural covenants often prohibit any solar panels visible from a public street or adjacent property. In some of those HOAs, you’ll need photorealistic renderings, a completed ARB application, and an in-person hearing before approval. That process runs 60 to 90 days. Gus’s Solar handles the renderings and application paperwork as part of the contract, because an Irving commercial project that skips this step gets a stop-work order, not a pass. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll pull your HOA’s current solar covenant before we quote anything.
Irving sits in North Texas’s large-hail corridor, where golf-ball to baseball-size hail hits multiple times per year. That makes IEC 61215 Class 3 hail-rated panels essentially non-negotiable for any commercial roof in Irving. Standard panels will shatter under the first serious storm, and most warranties exclude hail damage. We spec Class 3 modules like REC Alpha Pure or equivalent on every Irving commercial install and document the rating in your contract so your warranty claim stands up. If your array is already damaged, call us; we inspect and file warranty or insurance claims for Irving businesses.
No, not for a meaningful commercial system. East Irving buildings in 75060 and 75061 often still carry 100-amp or 150-amp service panels, which cannot pass Oncor’s interconnection review for a commercial solar-plus-storage array. You’ll need a panel upgrade to 200-amp or 400-amp service, which runs $1,500 to $3,000 in Irving and adds about a week to the timeline. We identify this at the first site visit so it’s in the contract, not a surprise at permitting. Call (877) 550-6892 for a site assessment.
Yes, but slower than a south-facing array. In Irving’s Las Colinas HOAs, rear-only or east-facing systems can reduce annual production 20 to 30% compared to optimal south-facing placement. We offset that with high-efficiency panels, per-panel optimization via SolarEdge or Enphase, and a year-25 output forecast built off your actual meter data, not a brochure number. A well-designed rear-only array on a Las Colinas warehouse still typically reaches payback in 7 to 10 years at current Oncor rates. We recently completed a rear-only, east-facing array on a 75038 warehouse using REC Alpha Pure panels and SolarEdge inverters; the owner is seeing steady kWh offset on their true-up despite the azimuth limits.
Yes. We file the rapid shutdown compliance documentation, single-line diagrams, and the full Oncor interconnection application for every commercial project in Irving. We also pull the city building permit and, where required, the Las Colinas ARB application. Missing a single line on the Oncor form can stall an Irving project 30 days, so we treat the paperwork as part of the job, not your problem. Call (877) 550-6892 if you’ve got a stalled permit from another installer; we’ll look it over and tell you honestly what’s fixable.
Warehouse Solar in the 75038 ZIP: What Actually Happens
We recently completed a commercial rooftop solar installation for a warehouse in the 75038 ZIP, where the Las Colinas HOA required photorealistic renderings and an in-person hearing before approval. Our team designed a rear-only, east-facing array using REC Alpha Pure panels with IEC 61215 Class 3 hail resistance, paired with SolarEdge inverters to maximize production despite the azimuth limitations. The project took 14 weeks from contract to interconnection, with the ARB review accounting for 9 of those weeks. But the owner now avoids HOA violations and receives a steady kWh offset on their true-up statement. That’s the reality of commercial solar in Irving: the electrical work is the easy part. The local approvals are where experience pays for itself.
