AfterSolar Services in Addison, TX
Most of the solar questions we get from Addison aren’t about panels at all. They’re about roofs. Specifically, whether a flat commercial roof can handle the weight, whether the HOA will even allow panels on a condo building, and whether the FAA will flag a system near the airport. We answer those questions every week, and we can usually get someone to your property within a day or two. Call us at (877) 550-6892 and you’ll talk to a person, not a menu.

Why Addison Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus Petrakis started this company in 2011 and put his own name on it. He still answers his own phone. That matters in Addison, where most solar work isn’t a simple rooftop resi job. It’s a commercial load calculation for a restaurant that runs AC full-blast through August, or a condo association negotiation, or an FAA glare review near Addison Airport. Those aren’t jobs for a door-knocker with a tablet and a brochure.
We’ve handled projects in the Addison Circle area and along the Belt Line Road corridor, and we know the permitting quirks that come with each. Background-checked, uniformed crew on every job, our own people doing the install, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, one call brings Gus back. That’s the whole deal.
Solar Services We Offer in Addison
Solar Panel Installation
We install panels on the roof types Addison actually has: flat commercial roofs with ballasted or penetrating mounts, and multi-tenant residential buildings where the design has to satisfy both the HOA board and the structural engineer. Every proposal includes a production estimate built off your actual utility usage, not a generic square-foot formula.
Learn more about our Solar Panel Installation in Addison.
Solar Battery Storage & Backup
Restaurants and offices in Addison lose money every minute the power is out during a summer storm. A battery system sized to your actual load keeps refrigeration, point-of-sale, and essential lighting running when the grid drops. We work with FranklinWH and Enphase battery systems and we’ll show you year-25 numbers, not day-one marketing.

Solar Panel Cleaning
Dust, pollen, and jet exhaust residue from the airport traffic settle on panels faster than most owners expect. A quarterly or twice-yearly cleaning schedule restores what production you’re losing to grime. For commercial arrays, that’s measurable money.

EV Charger Installation
Addison’s condo buildings and office parking structures are adding EV chargers at a steady clip. We handle the panel-side work, the run, and the charger install itself, and we’ll tell you honestly whether your existing service can handle it or if you need an upgrade first.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
We monitor the systems we install, and when something drops below expected output, we call you. You don’t have to notice a problem first. For commercial clients in Addison, that proactive monitoring is the difference between a blip and a costly month of underproduction.
Solar Panel Repair
Hail damage is a reality of owning panels in the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor. We do honest damage assessments, work with your insurance documentation, and repair or replace only what’s actually broken. $40 off any repair over $200, and no trip charge inside our own county.
Commercial Solar Installation
This is the bulk of what we do in Addison. The 4.4-square-mile commercial landscape here means flat roofs, heavy daytime loads, and real ROI math. We know the FAA glare submission process for rooftops near Addison Airport, the city’s permitting path, and the hail-rating standards your insurer will want to see.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Addison
We cover all of 75001, typically getting a technician to your property within 24 to 48 hours for standard jobs and same-day for genuine emergencies. Areas we’re on regularly:
- Addison Circle
- Belt Line Road corridor

- Arapaho Road commercial district

Why Addison’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Addison is a commercial town. Roughly 4.4 square miles packed with restaurants, corporate campuses, hotels, and condos, with very little traditional single-family detached housing. So the solar math here looks different than in neighboring Carrollton or Farmers Branch. The residential inquiries we get in Addison involve condominium and townhome buildings, mostly 1980s-2000s-era construction, which means HOA approval and shared-roof access are part of nearly every residential conversation. A standard homeowner permit is the exception, not the rule.
On the commercial side, the load profiles are beautiful for solar. Restaurants in Addison run massive HVAC and refrigeration demand from late morning through evening, right when panels are producing. And with 230-plus sunny days a year, the payback window compresses quickly. But there’s a wrinkle most DFW installers never deal with: Addison Airport sits inside town limits. Rooftop arrays on the west side of town near the runway corridor can trigger FAA glare analysis requirements. Low-angle morning reflectance from panels can intersect instrument approach paths for general aviation traffic. We’ve submitted those analyses before. Most crews haven’t.
Pricing for Solar in Addison
We quote from your actual utility bill, not a brochure. That’s the only honest way to size a system. Here’s where commercial and residential projects in Addison generally land:
- Commercial flat-roof system (50-150 kW): $2.10-$2.60 per watt, all-in before incentives
- Residential condo building system (10-30 kW): $2.40-$2.90 per watt, depending on roof access and HOA requirements
- Battery add-on: $9,000-$18,000 per unit installed, FranklinWH or Enphase
- Panel cleaning (commercial array): $0.03-$0.06 per watt per cleaning, depending on roof access
- EV charger install: $700-$2,200, depending on panel capacity and run length
Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same. Call (877) 550-6892 for a real number.

FAQs About Solar in Addison
In most cases, yes, but it will involve your HOA board and shared-roof access agreements. Addison’s residential stock is dominated by condominiums and townhomes, mostly around Addison Circle and the eastern sections of 75001, so we walk through the association approval process as a standard part of the job. Gus’s crew has done enough of these to know what boards ask for: engineering letters, roof-load certifications, and delineated maintenance access plans. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll tell you exactly what your specific building will require.
Yes. Addison Airport sits inside town limits, and the FAA requires a glare analysis for rooftop solar arrays within certain proximities to runway approach paths. Projects on the west side of Addison near the ADS corridor have been flagged for this review, which most DFW installers have never filed. We handle the submission as part of the permit package, not as a surprise line item later.
Commercial systems in Addison typically run $2.10 to $2.60 per watt before incentives, while residential condo building systems run $2.40 to $2.90 per watt. The commercial discount reflects scale and flat-roof access. Your actual number depends on your load, your roof, and your utility bill. Bring us a bill, we’ll bring you the math. Estimates are free at (877) 550-6892.
It is, and it’s not something to ignore. The Dallas-Fort Worth corridor sits in a significant hail belt, and Addison gets its share of severe weather. We spec panels with IEC 61215 hail impact class ratings on every commercial proposal here and we help with the insurance documentation when a storm does damage. If your panels get hit, call us. We do free damage assessments.
Not always, but restaurants and offices with critical refrigeration or server loads usually benefit from at least partial battery backup. When the grid drops during a summer storm, a battery keeps your essential systems running while other businesses go dark. We’ll show you the cost of a FranklinWH or Enphase system against what an outage hour actually costs your operation. Call (877) 550-6892 and ask for a load analysis.

What Addison Customers Say
"Panel level monitoring so I can see each one, proper stainless clips under the array rather than zip ties, and he walked me under it with a torch to show me before he signed off."
- Cassius Delacroix"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
