We’re Gus’s Solar, a locally owned shop that has been installing and servicing panels across DFW for over 29 years. You call us at (877) 550-6892, a real person answers, and we’ll give you a straight answer about whether solar pencils out for your specific roof, your actual usage, and your address in 75123.

Why Glenn Heights Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Most of the calls we get from Glenn Heights start the same way: a national outfit knocked on the door, quoted a number that sounded fine on the front porch, and then sent paperwork with a different number buried on page six. That’s not how we work. Gus Petrakis puts his own name on the truck, on the contract, and on the building. When you call, you’re not routed to a call center three states away. You get a live person, 24/7, and if something goes wrong after the install, you get Gus back out there. That’s the 90-Day Done Right Promise, in writing, on every job.
We’ve put systems on homes throughout the area, from the established streets around Uhl Road and Bear Creek to the newer subdivisions east of I-35E. Homeowners in the Primrose Crossing and Gatewood Estates neighborhoods have seen our crew, met our background-checked technicians, and read the same reviews your neighbors have. The word gets around here. That’s how we’ve built the business.
Solar Services We Offer in Glenn Heights
We handle the full range of solar panel installation in Glenn Heights, start to finish, with our own crew. No subs, no hand-offs. Here’s what that looks like.
Solar Panel Installation
We design the array around your roof’s actual plane area, your year-round sun exposure, and your utility bill, not a brochure. Glenn Heights brick-veneer tract homes with gable-and-hip composition shingle roofs generally have solid south- and west-facing space for panels, and we quote the year-25 output, not the day-one number.

Solar Battery Storage & Backup
With summer storms rolling through and grid strain at peak, Glenn Heights solar battery storage & backup keeps your lights on and your fridge running when the neighborhood goes dark. We size the system to the loads you actually care about, and we install it cleanly.

Solar Panel Cleaning
Dust, pollen, and the occasional hailstorm debris film over panels and quietly shave output, which is why Glenn Heights solar panel cleaning matters. We come out, clean the array properly, and check for microcracks or hot spots while we’re up there.

EV Charger Installation
More Glenn Heights driveways have EVs now than five years ago. We install Level 2 chargers wired safely into your panel, including the newer 200-amp main services common on post-2005 builds here.
Call (877) 550-6892 to schedule a charger install.
Solar Panel Maintenance & Monitoring
We watch your system’s production so you don’t have to. If a panel underperforms or an inverter throws a fault, we see it and we call you. That’s the difference between owning panels and actually being covered.
Call (877) 550-6892 for a maintenance check.
Solar Panel Repair
Panels take hail, squirrels chew wiring, and inverters fail. We diagnose and fix it. Right now we’re offering $40 off any repair over $200.
Call (877) 550-6892 and describe what you’re seeing.
Commercial Solar Installation
For small business owners in Glenn Heights, a roof-mounted or ground-mounted array shifts a big fixed cost into a long-term asset. We’ve done this for warehouses, retail, and light industrial across the metro, and we quote it the same way: real numbers, no games.
Call (877) 550-6892 for a walkthrough.

Why Glenn Heights’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Glenn Heights gets more than 230 sunny days a year, and the summer highs above 100°F push air conditioners to run nearly nonstop from June through September. That’s exactly when solar production peaks, which means the payback math here is stronger than in cloudier parts of the country. But there’s a second Glenn Heights factor most installers never mention: we’re on the southern edge of Hail Alley. Panels rated for large-hail impact, meeting IEC 61215 MQT 29, are a real consideration here, not a checkbox. We spec panels that can take a North Texas spring hailstorm without cracking, because we know what comes through Ellis and Dallas counties every March and April.
The housing stock helps too. Homes built from the 1990s through the 2010s dominate, and the post-2005 builds typically came with 200-amp main panels already installed. That cuts out a lot of the electrical-service upgrade cost that older suburbs deal with. If your panel needs work, we’ll tell you. If it doesn’t, we won’t sell you one anyway.
Pricing for Solar in Glenn Heights
Here’s the honest math. A residential solar array in Glenn Heights for a typical 1,500 to 3,000 sq ft home usually falls between $14,000 and $28,000 before the federal tax credit, depending on system size, roof layout, and equipment. Battery backup typically adds $9,000 to $16,000. After the 30% federal credit, those numbers drop meaningfully. Bring us your actual Oncor bill, and we’ll build the quote off your real usage and the current export rates. The price we quote is the price you pay. Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same.

FAQs About Solar in Glenn Heights
Most residential systems here run between $14,000 and $28,000 before the federal tax credit, with battery storage adding $9,000 to $16,000. Your exact number depends on your roof, your usage, and your panel. Call (877) 550-6892 for a free estimate built off your actual bill.
Yes, and here’s what makes this city different: Glenn Heights straddles the Dallas-Ellis county line, so which county’s permitting process applies depends on your specific parcel. We verify the county record before we pull anything, which prevents the mid-install inspection delays that hit contractors who assume one standard AHJ. It’s a hard-learned local discipline, and we handle it for you.
Large hail can crack panels, which is why we recommend panels rated for large-hail impact (IEC 61215 MQT 29 or better) for homes here. Glenn Heights sits on the southern edge of Hail Alley, and the spring storms that roll through are a real factor. We spec accordingly and we monitor your system afterward.
Usually we can get a crew out within a few days, sometimes same day for repairs or maintenance. Install scheduling depends on permitting and equipment availability. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll give you a straight timeline, not a vague window.
If the panels are under 10 years old and the damage is isolated, repair usually makes sense. If they’re older and output has degraded below 80% of the original rating, replacement may pencil out better long-term. Bring us your monitoring data and we’ll give you an honest read. Estimates are free.

What Glenn Heights Customers Say
"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"He flashed every roof penetration properly and showed me the flashing before it went down. Three roof seasons on and not a drop anywhere."
- Philomena Achara"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."
