AfterSolar Services in Roanoke, TX
If your electric bill keeps climbing every June while your AC fights the Roanoke heat, you’re not imagining it. Homes along the 76262 corridor, most of them 2,500 square feet or larger with multi-zone HVAC systems, routinely see summer bills push past $400 a month. A Solar Panel Installation - Roanoke team sizing panels correctly for a 3,000-square-foot two-story in places like Fairway Ranch or John Knox Village can cut that bill by 60 to 80 percent. We know this because we’ve installed on dozens of roofs in Roanoke, and we’ve seen the actual utility statements before and after. Call (877) 550-6892 and bring us a recent bill. Gus Petrakis will run the math off your real usage, not a brochure estimate.

Why Roanoke Homeowners Choose Gus’s Solar
Gus’s Solar isn’t a door-knocking operation running a “limited-time special” through Denton County this month. We’re a locally owned shop, founded in 2011, with Gus Petrakis’s name on the truck, the quotes, and the workmanship. That’s a distinction homeowners in Roanoke tell us matters, especially after a winter storm or a hail event has brought out out-of-state crews who quote one number on the phone and another at the kitchen table.
Our customers in Roanoke, Trophy Club, and Southlake trust us because we follow the L.O.C.A.L. code: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, and Loyal. That means Gus’s own crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, and answerable to him directly. It means when you call with a question after year three of ownership, a live person picks up. Not a voicemail. Not a ticket in a portal. And the 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right after install, one call brings Gus back to make it right. In writing, on every job.
Solar Services We Offer in Roanoke
Solar Panel Installation
We design systems around your actual roof pitch, orientation, and shading. Most Roanoke homes measure 2,500 to 4,500 square feet, and we map each panel layout to your specific subdivision’s roofline. Learn more about solar panel installation in Roanoke.
Solar Battery Storage & Backup
After February 2021, most Roanoke homeowners we meet don’t ask about offset anymore. They ask about backup. We size battery systems, including FranklinWH, to carry your critical loads through the next ERCOT event. Learn more about solar battery storage & backup in Roanoke.
Solar Panel Cleaning
North Texas pollen and construction dust from the 114 corridor leave a film that drops panel output 5 to 15 percent. We clean panels safely with soft water and proper tools, no pressure washers near your glass. Learn more about solar panel cleaning in Roanoke.
EV Charger Installation
Roanoke has more EVs in driveways every month. Our EV Charger Installation - Roanoke service sets up Level 2 chargers so you wake up to a full battery instead of idling at a public station on Byron Nelson Boulevard.

Why Roanoke’s Climate & Housing Affect Solar
Roanoke sits in a DFW weather band that delivers roughly 229 sunny days a year, with brutal July and August peak-sun stretches that push air conditioners to run almost continuously. That’s a solar payback story, but it’s also a sizing story: those 2,500-to-4,500-square-foot homes with multi-zone HVAC systems need more panel capacity than a 1,600-square-foot ranch in an older part of Denton County. We don’t sell a one-size-fits-all array.
Roanoke’s housing stock works in solar’s favor another way too. The 2000s-2010s tract construction means most roofs still have 15 to 20 years of life left, which aligns almost perfectly with modern panel warranties. The catch is architectural: those hip-dominant rooflines common in north DFW production building shrink the usable south-facing plane, so we spend real time on shading and pitch analysis before we ever propose a layout. That’s why you won’t get a cookie-cutter quote from us. You’ll get a design that accounts for how your specific street in Roanoke faces the sun.
Home services all of Roanoke, but we never treat it like a dot on a coverage map. The 76262 corridor was built out almost entirely during the AllianceTexas employment boom, which means enormous energy demand packed into a small city footprint. We account for that density when we design.
Pricing for Solar in Roanoke
We quote honest numbers off your actual utility bill, and the price we give you is the price you pay. No escalation clauses. No “sign tonight and save” games.

Roanoke Solar Battery Storage & Backup adds $10,000 to $18,000 depending on capacity and brand. EV charger installation runs $600 to $1,800 depending on panel distance.

FAQs About Solar in Roanoke
No. Texas Property Code §202.010 has barred HOAs from prohibiting solar installations since 2011, and that applies to the planned communities around 76262. Roanoke HOA architectural boards sometimes still send warning letters about solar aesthetics, so before your site assessment, we walk you through your legal rights and help you draft a response if a letter shows up. Call (877) 550-6892, and we’ll explain it in plain language.
Most Roanoke systems run $2.40 to $3.10 per watt installed before the federal tax credit, so a typical 10 kW system lands between $24,000 and $31,000. Battery storage adds $10,000 to $18,000. For an exact figure built from your actual utility usage, call (877) 550-6892. Estimates are free.
Only if you pair panels with battery storage. Panels alone shut down during an outage for safety, but a battery system sized for your critical loads, like one from FranklinWH, keeps your refrigerator, lights, and HVAC fan running through the kind of multi-day failure Roanoke experienced in February 2021. We’ll help you size it correctly.
Most residential installs in Roanoke take two to four days of on-site work after we’ve handled permits and HOA coordination. Total timeline from signed contract to system live typically runs four to eight weeks, depending on utility interconnection and your HOA’s review pace. Call (877) 550-6892 to check current scheduling.
Yes. When you call (877) 550-6892 at 9 p.m. or on a Saturday, a live person answers. Not a call center in another state. Not a voicemail promising a callback. That’s part of what it means to be local and accountable.

What Roanoke Customers Say
"Four different companies knocked on my door in one summer and every one of them wanted a signature that evening. Gus has a shop with his name on it, gave me the numbers on paper, and told me to take a fortnight and think about it."
- Winifred Castellano"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
