Available Franchise Territories
We keep our territories protected, not packed. When you claim a market with Gus’s Solar, you get the room to build a real business without another Gus’s truck planting a flag two streets over. We’d rather have one owner doing it right in a county than three fighting over the same cul-de-sac. The markets below are open right now. Once a territory is claimed, it’s claimed. That’s the first-mover advantage in plain English: you get there first, you become the local name before anyone else can. The brand has been building trust since 2011, and the open territories represent the full map of where we’re growing next.
Open Markets
These twelve states currently have open territory for new Gus’s Solar owners:
- Texas – Deregulated power means your customers already understand rate pain, which makes the solar math easier to show on a real bill.
- Florida – Sunshine is abundant, hurricane season makes battery backup a genuine need, and the 50-to-70 homeowner base here has been burned by door knockers for years.
- California – The state with the highest electric rates in the country. Your bill is the blueprint, and that blueprint works hard here.
- Georgia – Strong suburban growth and a market that hasn’t been saturated by the national flash-and-dash installers yet.
- North Carolina – Rural and exurban counties where a local name still carries weight and a handshake means something.
- Arizona – Heat loads and air conditioning bills make solar a straight numbers decision for most homeowners.
- Tennessee – A growing market where TVA territories and county-level differences reward an owner who actually knows the local utility rates.
- Ohio – Net metering policies are stable, and the customer base values a published address over a slick website.
- Pennsylvania – Older housing stock means real roof assessments matter, which plays to our no-subcontractor, own-crew model.
- Colorado – High altitude sun, strong environmental awareness, and a customer who reads the fine print before signing.
- Washington – Long summer days and a utility rate structure that rewards battery storage pairing.
- Virginia – Dominion Energy territory has seen steady rate increases, and the exurban counties around Richmond and Roanoke are underserved by honest local shops.
How Territories Work
Here’s the straight version. When you claim a territory, you’re not buying a zip code on a spreadsheet. You’re getting a defined area where no other Gus’s Solar franchise can operate, market, or install. We draw the lines based on county boundaries and realistic drive times, not arbitrary circles on a map. Your customers are yours. If a lead comes in from your territory, it goes to you. If a neighbor across the county line calls, it goes to the owner next door. We keep it that simple because it keeps owners honest with each other.
A territory is reserved when you sign the franchise agreement and complete your initial training. There’s no auction, no bidding war, no pressure to decide before you’ve read the disclosure document. We’ll tell you if a territory is open, we’ll tell you what it costs, and you take the time you need. If someone else claims it while you’re thinking, we’ll tell you that too. Gus built this company on the principle that a salesman who needs an answer tonight is a salesman you should walk away from. We apply the same standard to franchise conversations.
You’re not buying a call center script or a territory you have to fight someone else for. You’re buying the right to be the Gus’s Solar owner in your area, with your name on the truck and your face at the hardware store on Saturday. That’s the model. It has worked since 2011, and it works because the owner answers the phone.
