Why New Territory Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus Petrakis put his own name on this company in 2011, and he still answers his own phone. That matters in a place like New Territory, where a lot of folks have already sat through a high-pressure pitch from an out-of-state crew that quoted one number in the driveway and a different number on paper. We don’t do that. The price we quote is the price you pay, and the math comes straight off your CenterPoint bill and your current retail electric plan, not a glossy brochure. Homeowners in the Walker Commons and Pecan Grove sections tell us the same thing: no one rushed them, no one called them twelve times, and the crew showed up in uniform, background-checked, and got the job done right. Gus’s crew does the install. He doesn’t hand your roof to a sub.
Every job carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t right, Gus makes it right. One call brings him back. That’s the L.O.C.A.L. code he runs on: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. It’s not a slogan. It’s how he’s kept the doors open for 29 years in the Houston area while door-knockers come and go.

Solar Panel Cleaning
New Territory sits in a pocket that catches a lot of pollen in the spring and dust through the dry stretches of summer, and a layer of grime quietly cuts your output. Our New Territory Solar Panel Cleaning service skips harsh chemicals and never treats your roof like a sidewalk.

EV Charger Installation
Our EV Charger Installation - New Territory team wires Level 2 chargers into your panel and mounts them in your garage, sized for your car’s actual draw and your home’s service capacity. If you’re adding solar and an EV in the same year, we can sequence the work so the panel upgrade happens once, not twice.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
We keep an eye on your system’s production so a failing microinverter doesn’t quietly eat your savings for six months. Gus monitors systems himself and calls you when the numbers drift, which is exactly what a National outfit won’t do after the ink dries.
Solar Panel Repair
Storm damage, squirrel-chewed wiring, a cracked panel, a dead inverter: we diagnose it, give you a straight repair-or-replace number, and do the work. We offer a senior and veteran discount of 10 percent that never expires, and $40 off any repair over $200.
Commercial Solar Installation
For small commercial properties and offices in the New Territory area, we handle the engineering, the permits, and the install with the same owner-on-the-job standard we bring to homes. Bring us a bill, we’ll bring you the math.

Why New Territory’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
New Territory is a tightly HOA-governed master-planned community, and that changes the solar conversation in a way it doesn’t in unincorporated Fort Bend County. Before any permit gets pulled, your installation has to clear Architectural Review Committee approval. Texas Property Code §202.010 says an HOA can’t ban solar outright, but New Territory’s committee can restrict panels to roof planes that aren’t visible from the street. We’ve handled enough of these applications to know exactly how to frame them: here’s the south-facing plane the ARC will likely approve, here’s what it produces, here’s the non-street-visible alternative, here’s what that costs in annual production. We present both, honestly, and let the numbers decide.
The housing stock here makes that negotiation even more relevant. Most New Territory homes were built between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s on the Houston builder template: brick-veneer, two stories, hip-dominant roofs. That roof design chops contiguous south-facing area into pieces. Rather than upsell you into a string inverter that will bottleneck on partial shade, we default to microinverters or power optimizers from Enphase or SolarEdge, because that’s what actually fits these roofs. It isn’t a premium; it’s the practical answer for the architecture.
Pricing for Solar in New Territory
What does solar cost in New Territory? Here’s honest math, not a teaser rate:
- Full solar installation on a two-story New Territory home: $18,000 to $38,000 before the federal tax credit, depending on system size (6 kW to 14 kW) and roof complexity.
- Battery backup system (FranklinWH aPower or Tesla Powerwall): $9,500 to $16,500 installed, depending on capacity and panel work needed.
- Panel cleaning for a standard roof array: $150 to $300 per visit, depending on roof pitch and array size.
- EV charger installation (Level 2, hardwired): $600 to $1,400, depending on distance from the panel and whether a service upgrade is needed.
- Repair diagnosis and common microinverter replacement: $150 to $450, with $40 off any repair over $200.
These are real numbers, not door-knocker ranges. Call (877) 550-6892 for a quote built off your actual bill, and bring it with you. The price will be the same in two weeks.

FAQs About Solar in New Territory
Yes, but the New Territory Architectural Review Committee can restrict panels to roof planes not visible from the street, and they will review your submission carefully. We prepare the application packet with both a south-facing and a non-street-visible option, so the committee sees the real tradeoff and you get a decision faster. Call (877) 550-6892 if you want us to walk your specific roofline through the ARC process.
That depends heavily on your retail electric provider. New Territory homes are on CenterPoint’s distribution grid but choose their own REP, and some plans pay almost nothing for exported kilowatt-hours while others credit them at a rate that cuts payback time by years. We audit your current REP contract before we ever talk system size. If a plan switch changes your numbers, we tell you that first.
Usually, yes. We move fast on the New Territory side because we know the HOA process and the permitting flow, and we can often schedule installation inside a week or two of approval. We never want a signature tonight; we want the job done right. Call (877) 550-6892 for a real timeline.
You don’t need one, but after Harvey flooded this area in 2017, a lot of homeowners here decided backup power was worth it. A battery like the FranklinWH aPower or Tesla Powerwall keeps your fridge, lights, and a window unit running when CenterPoint’s feeder goes down. It’s not required for solar, but it’s the part of the system you’ll be happiest about during the next storm.
If the array is less than 10 years old and the problem is a single microinverter or a cracked panel, repair is almost always cheaper. If the inverter is failing and the panels are 15-plus years old, we’ll show you both numbers side by side and let you decide. We don’t push replacements when a repair gets you another five years. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll diagnose it honestly.

What New Territory Customers Say
"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"Told me straight that a battery did not make sense for how we use power and sold me the array without it. He talked himself out of a good deal of money that afternoon."
- Reginald Pontefract
