If your Kennedale electric bill has crept past $200 a month and you’re wondering whether solar actually pays off here, the short answer is yes, but the math depends on two things most national outfits won’t mention: your roof’s hail history and which retail electric provider you’re with. We’re Gus’s Solar, locally owned and owner-operated, and we’ve been helping Tarrant County homeowners sort through exactly that math since 2011. Call us at (877) 550-6892 and we’ll walk you through what Solar Panel Installation - Kennedale actually costs on your specific house, not a brochure average.

Why Kennedale Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Most of the calls we get from 76060 start the same way: a homeowner got a quote from a door-knocker or an out-of-state outfit, the numbers felt slippery, and now they want someone who will actually answer questions. Gus Petrakis puts his own name on the truck and his own license number on every proposal. That matters in a town like Kennedale, where people still ask around before they hire anybody.
We work regularly in the older neighborhoods off Mansfield Cardinal Road and down toward the newer subdivisions south of Kennedale Parkway. Homeowners there tell us the same thing: they want a company that will still pick up the phone in year five, not just during the sales window. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and Gus’s own team does the install, no subs. If something’s not right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing, and one call brings Gus back.
Solar Services We Offer in Kennedale
Solar Panel Installation
We design systems around your actual usage and the orientation of your roof, not a one-size-fits-all template. A proper install in Kennedale starts with a roof assessment, because a lot of homes in this area have composition shingles nearing the end of their life. Learn more about Solar Panel Installation in Kennedale.
Solar Battery Storage & Backup
With Oncor territory’s deregulated rates and the hail season we get, backup power isn’t just a nice-to-have. We size battery systems so your essentials keep running when the grid dips or a spring storm knocks out a feeder line. Learn more about Solar Battery Storage & Backup in Kennedale.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Dust, pollen, and the residue from Tarrant County storms build up on panels and quietly shave production. A twice-a-year cleaning schedule keeps your system hitting its year-25 numbers, not just the day-one figures. Learn more about Solar Panel Cleaning in Kennedale.
EV Charger Installation
If you’ve got an electric vehicle or you’re planning on one, we handle EV Charger Installation - Kennedale with Level 2 chargers on a dedicated circuit, sized correctly for your panel and your driving habits. It’s straightforward work that pays for itself in convenience within the first month.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
Gus doesn’t disappear after the install. We monitor system output and we’re the ones who call you when a panel underperforms, rather than waiting for you to notice a dip on your bill. Scheduled Kennedale Solar Panel Cleaning and maintenance extends the life of your racking, connections, and inverters.
Solar Panel Repair
Hail damage, failed microinverters, loose conduit, animal nesting under the array, we’ve seen it all in Kennedale. We repair systems installed by other companies too, and we’ll typically be out within a few days of your call. Remember, $40 off any repair over $200.

Why Kennedale’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Kennedale sits in one of the most hail-active corridors in Texas. Late-spring supercells routinely drop golf-ball-sized hail across Tarrant County, and that changes the conversation about solar in a real way. We won’t put standard panels on a Kennedale roof without at least discussing Class 4 impact-resistant specs, because a panel that can’t survive the next hailstorm isn’t a good investment no matter how cheap it was. Our go-to brands for hard-weather installs include Panasonic and Canadian Solar, and we’ve had strong results with FranklinWH batteries for storage.
There’s another local wrinkle a lot of companies skip. Kennedale falls in Oncor’s deregulated service territory, and Texas has no statewide net metering mandate. What you get credited for your excess solar depends entirely on which retail electric provider you’re with. Some REPs pay near-retail rates. Some pay almost nothing. We build your ROI off your actual bill and your actual REP, and we’ll tell you if switching providers before you go solar would change your payback period. Bring us a bill, and we’ll bring you the math.
Pricing for Solar in Kennedale
What you’ll pay depends on roof condition, panel count, and whether you add a battery, but here are honest ranges for this market.

- Solar panel cleaning: $150-$275 for a standard residential array; larger or steeply pitched roofs run a bit more.
- EV charger installation: $600-$1,400 depending on panel capacity and the distance from the panel to the charging spot.

FAQs About Solar in Kennedale
Yes. Kennedale runs its own building department independent of Fort Worth and Arlington, so permit submissions and inspection scheduling go through the city’s small municipal staff. Out-of-area companies that assume county-wide uniformity often get caught by Kennedale’s distinct submittal requirements, which can add weeks to a job. We know the local process and file everything correctly the first time.
Most residential systems in the 76060 area run between $17,000 and $26,000 before the federal tax credit, with battery storage adding $8,500 to $14,500. The exact number depends on your roof, your usage, and your electric provider. Call (877) 550-6892 for a free estimate based on your actual bill.
That is the right question to ask. We recommend Class 4 impact-resistant panels for nearly every install in Kennedale because the hail risk here isn’t theoretical. Standard panels can crack under golf-ball-sized hail; Class 4 panels are tested to withstand significantly more. It adds a little to the upfront cost and saves you a roof full of damaged panels later.
You don’t strictly need one, but with Oncor’s deregulated territory and the spring storm season, most of our Kennedale customers find the backup capability worth it. A Kennedale Solar Battery Storage & Backup system keeps your essentials running during outages and lets you control when you pull from the grid in a way your REP’s buyback rate may not reward. If you’re unsure, we’ll show you the payback math both ways and you decide.
For urgent repairs like hail damage or a system that’s stopped producing, we can often be out the same day or next day. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person answers, 24/7, no voicemail queue. If you have a written estimate from another company, we’ll give you a free second opinion.

What Kennedale Customers Say
"Four different companies knocked on my door in one summer and every one of them wanted a signature that evening. Gus has a shop with his name on it, gave me the numbers on paper, and told me to take a fortnight and think about it."
- Winifred Castellano"Honest quoting and good workmanship. He is not the cheapest quote I got, by some way, and he told me that himself and explained what the difference bought. I chose him anyway and I am glad."
- Alistair Fennimore"The install itself was excellent and the system performs as modelled. Permitting and the utility interconnection took about four months, most of it out of his hands, though the waiting was still frustrating."
- Marguerite Ostrowski
