AfterSolar Services in Crowley, TX
If your Oncor bill keeps climbing every summer and you’re tired of wondering whether solar will actually pencil out on a Crowley roof, here’s the straight answer: it usually does, but only if the math is built off your real usage and your actual buy-back rate, not a glossy brochure. Gus’s Solar has been installing and servicing panels across the 76036 for long enough to know exactly how Crowley homes perform through Tarrant County hail season and a 100-degree August. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person answers, day or night.

Why Crowley Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus Petrakis puts his own name on the truck, answers his own phone, and has spent 29 years building a business on the idea that a solar installer should still be reachable five years after the system goes live. That’s rare in this industry, and it’s why homeowners in neighborhoods like Deer Creek and the established streets north of Risinger Road keep calling us back.
We’re not a door-knocking sales crew. We’re not out-of-state. We’re the shop with a published address, a license number, and an owner who lives with the same hail maps you do. When a spring storm tears through southwest Tarrant County, Gus is the one checking his monitoring dashboard to see which Crowley systems took a hit, then calling you before you even notice a dip in production.
Every job gets the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not right, Gus makes it right and one call brings him back. That’s not marketing language. That’s how he’s kept a local reputation strong enough that most of our Crowley work comes from neighbors telling neighbors.
Solar Services We Offer in Crowley
Solar Panel Installation
A properly sized Solar Panel Installation - Crowley on a 2003-2022 tract home typically offsets 70-90% of annual usage, but only if the design accounts for your roof’s azimuth, your HOA’s aesthetic rules, and your retail electric provider’s buy-back terms. We quote the year-25 output, not the day-one number.

Why Crowley’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Crowley sits squarely in Tarrant County’s spring hail corridor, where baseball-size stones have wrecked standard panels on more than one southwest Fort Worth suburb rooftop. That’s why we spec IEC 61215-certified, hail-impact-rated panels here as baseline, not as an upgrade. A cheaper array that gets shattered in one April storm erases a decade of savings overnight.
Your house itself works in your favor. The dominant Crowley housing stock, built between 2003 and 2022, has 6:12 to 8:12 pitched composite-shingle roofs with larger footprints. Those angles and square footage make for efficient, well-ventilated panel layouts. But many of those subdivisions have HOAs with aesthetic review authority, even under Texas solar-access law. We handle that pre-permit approval step instead of letting it surprise you.
There’s also the Oncor reality: their distributed-generation interconnection queue can run 60 to 90 days. A system permitted and bolted down in March might not get permission to operate until June. We set that expectation on day one so you’re not staring at a silent inverter wondering what went wrong.
Pricing for Solar in Crowley
Bring us a bill, we’ll bring you the math. A typical Crowley install runs between $2.35 and $2.85 per watt before the federal tax credit, which puts most owner-occupied systems in the $18,000 to $32,000 range depending on array size and battery inclusion. That’s the honest spread. No $99 door-knocker promo, no “sign tonight” pricing games.
- Panel-only system (7-10 kW): $18,000 - $27,000
- System with 10-13 kWh battery storage: $27,000 - $38,000
- EV charger installation: $600 - $1,500 depending on panel headroom
- Panel cleaning: $150 - $300 for a typical residential array
- Repair diagnostics: $40 off any repair over $200
Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same. If a salesman needs an answer tonight, the answer is no.

FAQs About Solar in Crowley
Most Crowley systems run $18,000 to $32,000 before the 30% federal tax credit, with pricing driven by array size, roof pitch, and whether you add battery storage. Call (877) 550-6892 for an exact quote built off your actual Oncor bill, not a brochure estimate.
Yes, but your retail electric provider choice controls your buy-back rate, and that decision matters as much as panel brand. We walk every Crowley homeowner through which REPs offer the strongest solar credits for your usage pattern before any contract is signed.
Tarrant County sees documented baseball-size hail, which is why we only spec IEC 61215-certified, impact-rated panels here. They’re engineered for exactly what the 76036 throws at them, and your homeowner’s policy usually covers the array if a storm exceeds the rating.
Typically 60 to 90 days from signed contract to permission to operate, because Oncor’s interconnection queue is the bottleneck, not the installation. We handle the paperwork and tell you the honest timeline upfront instead of promising next-week turn-on.
Texas law protects your right to install solar, but HOA architectural review committees can still weigh in on placement and aesthetics. We prepare the pre-permit submittal package for your specific HOA so that step doesn’t stall your project.

What Crowley 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
