If your July electric bill from a retail provider in Highland Village keeps climbing while your roof sits in full Texas sun, you’re not alone. Most homes here were built with wide, south-facing roof planes that are practically begging for panels, yet many owners never run the numbers because a door-knocker once left a bad taste. Gus’s Solar handles the whole thing differently: we come out to your house, we look at your actual bill, and we show you the year-25 output before you sign anything. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person answers, not a voicemail tree.
We serve all of Highland Village, from the lakefront streets along Lewisville Lake to the newer subdivisions east of FM 2499. The crew knows these rooflines, the HOA expectations, and the Oncor interconnection paperwork. No subcontracted labor. No pressure to decide tonight.

Why Highland Village Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus Petrakis started this company in 2011 and put his own name on the truck. That matters in a town like Highland Village, where word travels fast and people remember who actually showed up. We’ve worked on homes in The Highlands, along Sellmeyer Lane, and throughout the Copperas Branch peninsula. When something goes wrong with your system, Gus is the one who calls you back, not a ticket number in another state.
Highland Village homeowners tend to be methodical. They’ve usually done their homework. They know the difference between a real quote and a brochure number. So we show our work: equipment brands like Panasonic and Canadian Solar, a published license number, and a written 90-Day Done Right Promise on every job. If it’s not done right, Gus makes it right. That’s the whole guarantee, in plain English.
Our crew is background-checked and uniformed. You’ll know exactly who’s on your roof before they climb the ladder. And when you call at 9 p.m. on a Sunday after a hail storm, someone still picks up.
L.O.C.A.L. values aren’t a marketing slogan here. Local roots. On time. Community first. Accountable. Loyal. That’s how we operate in Highland Village, and it’s why so many of our customers come from referrals.
Solar Services We Offer in Highland Village
Solar Panel Installation
We design and install systems matched to Highland Village’s large hip and gable rooflines, not a warehouse-generated template. Every quote is built from your actual usage and your retail provider’s export rates so the math holds up over 25 years.
Learn more about our Solar Panel Installation in Highland Village.
Solar Battery Storage & Backup
ERCOT summers strain the grid, and Highland Village homeowners increasingly want a FranklinWH or Enphase battery so the air conditioning keeps running when the neighborhood goes dark. We size storage to your actual peak loads, not a generic guess.
Learn more about our Solar Battery Storage & Backup in Highland Village.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Pollen, dust, and lake-effect grime cut into panel output more than most people realize, especially during dry North Texas springs. A clean system can regain 5 to 15 percent production, and we do it safely with the right equipment.
Learn more about our Solar Panel Cleaning in Highland Village.
EV Charger Installation
More Highland Village garages are adding Level 2 chargers, and we wire them properly with dedicated circuits and load calculations. If you’re adding solar at the same time, we’ll make sure the charger and the array work together.
Call (877) 550-6892 to discuss EV charger installation for your Highland Village home.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
We don’t disappear after the install. Gus monitors systems across Highland Village and alerts you when production dips below expected levels. Minor problems caught early stay minor.
Call (877) 550-6892 to ask about maintenance and monitoring for your system.
Solar Panel Repair
Hail happens in Highland Village. Micro-cracks, inverter faults, chewed wiring, and failing optimizers all have fixes, and we’ll tell you honestly whether a repair or replacement makes more sense. We never push a new system when a $400 repair does the job.
Call (877) 550-6892 for a repair assessment. We offer $40 off any repair over $200.
Commercial Solar Installation
Highland Village businesses along FM 2499 and Justin Road can cut operating costs with rooftop or ground-mount arrays. We’ve handled commercial jobs of all sizes and handle the paperwork end-to-end.

Why Highland Village’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Highland Village sits in the North Texas hail belt, and large-diameter hail events hit this area multiple times per decade. That’s not a reason to avoid solar, but it is a reason to choose panels with IEC 61215 Class 3 impact ratings. We spec that standard on every Highland Village install because we know the next storm is coming, not because it’s a nice-to-have.
Most of the housing stock here went up between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, with generous brick-and-stone two-stories and wide, multi-faceted hip roofs. Those roof planes offer real panel capacity, but they also demand careful shading and pitch analysis across each plane. A one-size-fits-all design loses output. We measure everything.
Summer peak sun hours around Highland Village regularly push 5.5 to 6 kWh/m²/day, which means a properly oriented system pays back faster than it would in a cloudier market. Combined with the deregulated retail electric market, this is one of the better solar economics in the region, if the system is designed correctly from day one.
Highland Village is a fully built-out, high-income Denton County enclave where those large 1990s and 2000s two-stories with complex rooflines pair with Texas’s deregulated ERCOT electricity market. That combination of premium roof square footage, financial sophistication, and rate-shopping flexibility makes the solar math here distinctly favorable compared to utility-monopoly suburbs just across the county line.

FAQs About Solar in Highland Village
Most Highland Village systems run between $18,000 and $42,000 before the federal tax credit, with batteries adding another $9,000 to $18,000 each. Your exact number depends on roof geometry, panel count, and which retail electric plan you choose. Call (877) 550-6892 for a free estimate built from your actual bill.
It depends on your retail electric provider. Highland Village sits in deregulated ERCOT territory served by Oncor’s wires, which means you can shop retail plans with different export credit structures. That rate-shopping flexibility is a real advantage compared to utility-monopoly suburbs, and we’ll help you compare providers before you lock anything in.
Yes, if you choose panels with IEC 61215 Class 3 impact ratings, which we specify on every Highland Village install. These panels are tested to survive hailstones over an inch in diameter at terminal velocity. After major hail events, we also inspect existing systems for micro-cracks and inverter issues.
Usually repair. Faulty optimizers, wiring damage, and inverter failures can often be fixed for $200 to $1,800, while full replacement costs many times that. We’ll give you an honest answer about which route makes sense for your system, and we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve received.
In most cases, yes or within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the issue and your neighborhood. Emergency calls, especially after storms, get priority. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person will tell you exactly when we can be there. No trip charge inside our own county.
If you’re tired of high electric bills in Highland Village, or you’ve got a system that isn’t producing like it should, call (877) 550-6892.

What Highland Village Customers Say
"Gus's own crew did the install. Not a subcontractor who had never met him, which is what the big outfit quoted me and could not tell me who would actually be on my roof."
- Aurelia Santibanez"He modelled it on my actual bill and the current export rates rather than the old ones, and told me plainly that the payback was longer than the door knockers had claimed. Then it came in about where he said it would."
- Octavius Redmond"Production dropped one spring and I did not even notice. Gus rang me, because he watches the monitoring, and had it sorted the same week."
- Sunita Balakrishnan
