AfterSolar Services in Burleson, TX
Solar in Burleson comes with a question most installers never think to ask: which side of the county line are you on? That matters here more than almost anywhere in North Texas, because Burleson straddles Tarrant and Johnson counties, and your utility territory changes depending on the answer. We know the 76028 and 76097 ZIP codes block by block, and we’ll tell you straight what your system will actually produce before you spend a dime. Call (877) 550-6892 and you’ll get a live person, not a call center. If you’re just starting to look, start with our Solar Panel Installation in Burleson page for the full walkthrough.

Why Burleson Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus Petrakis started this company in 2011 and put his own name on the truck. That’s not marketing copy. When you call, the person who answers is someone who actually works here, and when you have a question two years after install, Gus is the one who picks up the phone. Burleson homeowners tell us that’s the reason they chose us over the door-knockers and the out-of-state outfits that quote one number on the phone and a different one at the kitchen table. We’ve handled Solar Panel Installation in Burleson throughout the city, including newer sections off Renfro Street and established neighborhoods east of I-35W around Hidden Creek. Our crew wears uniforms, passes background checks, and does the install themselves. We don’t hand your roof off to a sub we’ve never met.
The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every solar job we do in Burleson. If something isn’t right, Gus makes it right, in writing, and one call brings him back. We also answer the phone 24/7. Not a voicemail. Not a ticketing portal. A person. And if you’ve already got a quote from someone else, bring it in for a free second opinion. We’ll show you where the math holds up and where it doesn’t.
Solar Services We Offer in Burleson
Solar Panel Installation
We design and install rooftop solar systems sized off your actual utility bill, not a brochure estimate. Burleson’s open south-facing roof planes on newer brick-veneer homes make for clean, straightforward installs. Learn more about our solar panel installation in Burleson.
Solar Battery Storage & Backup
If you’re on the Johnson County Electric Cooperative side of Burleson, backup power changes what your system can do during outages. We install battery systems from Tesla and FranklinWH sized to your actual loads. Learn more about solar battery storage and backup in Burleson.
Solar Panel Cleaning
North Texas dust, spring pollen, and hail-season debris build up faster than most people expect. We clean panels without damaging the glass or voiding your warranty. Learn more about solar panel cleaning in Burleson.
EV Charger Installation
Our EV Charger Installation - Burleson team puts Level 2 units on their own dedicated circuits, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your panel can handle it or needs an upgrade first.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
Gus monitors systems in Burleson and calls you when production drops, not the other way around. If a string goes down, we know before you do.

Commercial Solar Installation
We handle flat-roof commercial systems for Burleson businesses, including warehouse and retail buildings along the I-35W corridor. Same promise, same owner on site.
How Much Does Solar Cost in Burleson?
Most residential systems in Burleson run between $2.45 and $3.10 per watt installed, before the federal tax credit. A typical 8 kW system on a 2,200 square-foot home lands around $19,600 to $24,800 gross. After the 30% federal credit, you’re looking at $13,700 to $17,400 out of pocket. But your actual number depends on which utility serves your address: Oncor territory in the Tarrant County side runs on ERCOT’s deregulated retail market with buyback plans that vary by provider, while the Johnson County Electric Cooperative side has its own interconnection and buyback rules. We quote the year-25 output, not the day-one brochure number. That’s the number that matters.
Line-Item Pricing Ranges
- 8 kW rooftop system (after tax credit): $13,700 - $17,400
- 10 kW rooftop system (after tax credit): $17,100 - $21,700
- Tesla Powerwall 3 (one unit, installed): $11,000 - $14,000
- Solar panel cleaning (full array): $150 - $350 depending on roof pitch and access
- EV charger installation (Level 2, dedicated circuit): $650 - $1,400
- Solar panel repair (diagnostic + fix): $200 - $900 typical; $40 off any repair over $200
Senior and veteran customers get a 10% discount that never expires. No trip charge inside our own county. The price we quote is the price you pay. Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same.
What Should Burleson Homeowners Look for in a Solar Installer?
Three things we’d tell a neighbor to check. First, is the company actually local, or does a call center answer? Second, will the person who sells you the system be reachable three years from now when something goes wrong? Third, does the quote account for your real utility and your real roof, or is it a generic per-watt number? In Burleson, the third question is bigger than most people realize, because of the split-county thing we mentioned. An installer working mostly in Fort Worth might assume Oncor and get your interconnection paperwork wrong if you’re actually in Johnson County Electric Cooperative territory. We verify your utility before we design a single panel.
Do You Really Need to Figure Out Which Utility Serves Your Burleson Address?
Yes. Burleson straddles Tarrant and Johnson counties. Homes in the 76028 ZIP along the eastern side of the city typically fall under Oncor and deregulated ERCOT retail plans. Homes in the 76097 ZIP pushing toward the southern and western edges, especially in the unincorporated Johnson County fringes, often fall under Johnson County Electric Cooperative. New subdivisions platted along the southern edge of Burleson sometimes carry a Burleson mailing address but sit entirely outside Oncor’s service map. A permit pulled assuming Oncor interconnection can stall for weeks when JCEC paperwork surfaces mid-project. Locking down which utility governs your address is the first thing we do, before we quote anything.
Why Burleson’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Burleson gets roughly 230 sunny days a year, and summers routinely push past 100°F. That means your payback period beats the national average, but it also means thermal derating on peak summer afternoons is real. Panels lose a few percentage points of output when the roof surface hits 140°F in July. We model that honestly instead of pretending it doesn’t exist. The bigger variable is hail. Burleson sits in North Texas’s hail corridor, where golf-ball-size hail events happen multiple times per decade. If a company tries to sell you the cheapest panels on the market without mentioning impact ratings, walk away. We install IEC 61215 impact-rated panels and can pair your system with Burleson Solar Battery Storage & Backup to help you coordinate coverage with your homeowner’s insurance before the first storm season hits. We’ve also installed enough systems in Burleson to know HOA covenants in newer sections sometimes require specific panel color or placement approvals before the city pulls the permit. That’s paperwork we handle so you don’t have to worry about it.
Where Does Gus’s Solar Work in Burleson?
Gus’s Solar works throughout the 76028 and 76097 ZIP codes, with typical response time for service calls running one to two business days across the Burleson area. Dispatch and scheduling are coordinated from our Dallas-Fort Worth office, but our crews live and work locally in the metro, so Burleson isn’t a far-flung territory for us. We’re regularly in the neighborhoods around Hidden Creek, Oak Valley, Mistletoe Hill, and the newer subdivisions along John Jones Drive near the southern city limits. If you’re in the unincorporated areas pushing toward Rendon, we cover those too, and we’ll make sure the right utility paperwork is in place from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in Burleson
Yes, if the panels are impact-rated. IEC 61215-rated panels handle hail better than you’d think, and Burleson’s 230+ sunny days a year mean production and payback beat the national average. We coordinate insurance coverage before install so you’re protected. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll walk through what your system would actually produce and cost.
It depends. Some Burleson HOAs require panel color or placement approvals before the city pulls permits. We handle that paperwork for you, but we’ll tell you upfront if your neighborhood has covenants that could slow things down. Call (877) 550-6892 to start the review.
We verify it for you before we design a single panel. But if you want to check yourself, pull your latest electric bill and look at the utility name. That single detail changes how we design your system and how the interconnection gets filed. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll look it up together.

What Burleson Customers Say
"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"My previous solar company went out of business and left me with an array nobody would touch. Gus took the system over, replaced two dead microinverters, and it has run properly since."
- Ferdinand Kaltenbrunner"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
