AfterFast, Reliable Solar Battery Storage & Backup Across Crowley
Solar battery storage in Crowley runs $9,500-$18,500 for a typical single-battery install, and the wait to actually use it can stretch 60-90 days because of Oncor’s interconnection queue. That second number surprises most homeowners, which is exactly why we put it in writing before you sign anything. Gus’s Solar is locally owned, Gus Petrakis answers his own phone, and our crew knows the 76036 ZIP well enough to file your HOA pre-approval paperwork days before we ever park the truck. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll walk your actual bill, your actual panel, and your actual timeline.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Crowley’s Preferred Solar Battery Storage & Backup Company
We’re not a pop-up sales crew working a territory. Gus Petrakis founded this company in 2011 and puts his name on the building, the trucks, and the work. When a Crowley homeowner calls about a battery that is not charging or an Enphase gateway that dropped offline, a live person answers. Not a call center three states away. Not a voicemail that says someone will call back in five to seven business days.
Crowley homeowners have told us stories about national outfits that quoted one price on the phone and a different one at the kitchen table. That doesn’t happen here. The number we quote is the number you pay. If something is not right, the 90-Day Done Right Promise means Gus makes it right. Bring me a bill, I’ll bring you the math. Take two weeks to think about it. The price will be the same.
Our Solar Battery Storage & Backup team has spent enough time in neighborhoods like Creekside, Deer Creek, and Jackson Meadows to know which builders cut corners on electrical panels and which HOAs sit on aesthetic review requests for weeks. That local knowledge is not something a remote installer can fake, and it is not something that shows up in a glossy brochure.
Our Solar Battery Storage & Backup Services in Crowley
Tesla Powerwall Installation
A Tesla Powerwall 3 installed in Crowley typically runs $12,000-$16,500 before any local or federal incentives. The Powerwall’s integrated inverter simplifies wiring in the 2003-2022 tract homes common across the 76036 ZIP, but we still check your main panel for a spare breaker slot before we quote. Builder-installed 200-amp panels from that era often have every slot filled, which means the real quote includes a subpanel, not just the battery.
Enphase IQ Battery Installation
Enphase IQ Battery 5P systems run $9,500-$14,000 in Crowley depending on whether you need one or two units and whether your existing array uses Enphase microinverters. For homes with older string inverters, adding an Enphase battery often triggers a microinverter retrofit before the battery can legally energize. NEC 2017/2020 inspection requirements mean the rapid shutdown rule applies, and some national installers will underbid the job, then surprise you with the retrofit cost mid-project. We price it into the first quote.
Whole-Home Backup Power
To run a 2,400 square foot Crowley home through a Tarrant County summer blackout, you’ll usually need two batteries, not one. That’s roughly 26-30 kWh of storage with a compressor-friendly surge rating, since your upstairs HVAC is the thing that actually fails first when temperatures sit above 100 for days. Whole-home backup in Crowley typically runs $18,000-$28,000 depending on your panel’s existing load profile and whether you want the second battery at install or added later.
Battery Retrofit for Existing Solar
Most of our Crowley work is retrofitting batteries onto systems installed between 2015 and 2022. Those arrays were sized for net metering that no longer exists in the way it did, and Oncor’s time-of-use rates now punish daytime export and reward evening self-consumption. A retrofit onto existing solar in Crowley runs $10,500-$17,000, and the conversation starts with whether your current inverter can even talk to a battery without a change-out.

Trusted Brands We Service in Crowley
We work with Tesla, Enphase, SolarEdge, SunPower, Panasonic, Qcells, and FranklinWH, and we stock common parts locally so a warranty call in Crowley doesn’t mean waiting on a FedEx truck from California. We install and service all of them, which matters because half the Crowley battery calls we get are from homeowners whose original installer no longer answers the phone. We take over those systems, document what’s there, and get them running. If we can fix it, we will tell you. If we can’t, we’ll also tell you that, straight.
Common Solar Battery Storage & Backup Problems We See in Crowley Homes
- Oncor PTO delays leaving a working battery dark. An installed and inspected battery can sit for 60-90 days waiting on Oncor’s distributed-generation interconnection queue. We now print the queue estimate in every Crowley contract so you’re not watching an app that says “commissioning pending” for two months without knowing why.
- HOA aesthetic review stalling wall-mount placement. Master-planned subdivisions like Deer Creek and Jackson Meadows have committees that want to approve where the battery hangs on your exterior wall. That review can add 3-6 weeks, which is why we file the pre-permit application before the install crew arrives, not after.
- Builder-grade 200-amp panels with no spare breaker slot. Homes built during the 2003-2018 boom frequently have full panels. Adding a battery gateway then requires a subpanel upgrade, a cost some national installers conveniently leave out of the first quote.
- Older string inverters failing inspection when storage is added. If your existing solar has a string inverter without module-level rapid shutdown, the battery addition will not pass NEC inspection. A microinverter retrofit must happen first, and we build that into the number we quote.
Pricing for Solar Battery Storage & Backup in Crowley, TX
A single Enphase IQ Battery 5P with installation in Crowley runs $9,500-$13,000. A Tesla Powerwall 3 install runs $12,000-$16,500. Whole-home backup with two batteries runs $18,000-$28,000. Retrofit work onto existing solar runs $10,500-$17,000, and the spread mostly comes down to whether your main panel needs a subpanel, whether your inverter gets replaced, and whether your HOA review adds delay but not cost. We quote the year-25 output, not the day-one brochure number. Every estimate is free, and the math is built from your actual Oncor bill, not a generic table. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll walk it with you.

FAQs - Solar Battery Storage & Backup in Crowley
Plan on 60 to 90 days between final inspection and permission to operate. That’s the reality of Oncor’s distributed-generation queue for the 76036 ZIP, and no installer can make Oncor move faster. We put the queue estimate in your contract, and we design the install schedule around it so you’re not paying for a battery loan before the system can legally energize. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll show you what today’s queue looks like.
Yes, in many master-planned Crowley subdivisions, the HOA’s aesthetic review committee can dictate wall-mount placement even though Texas solar-access statutes protect panel placement on the roof. Deer Creek and Jackson Meadows are two neighborhoods where we regularly file pre-approval paperwork. We submit that application before the crew arrives, which cuts weeks off the timeline.
You’ll want roughly 26-30 kWh of usable storage, which means two batteries in most configurations. A single battery will keep your refrigerator, lights, and Wi-Fi running, but it will not start a central air compressor on a 105-degree day. We size the backup load profile around your actual HVAC draw, not a generic square-footage chart.
Because Crowley sits in Oncor’s delivery territory on the ERCOT grid, which is deregulated. Your solar buy-back credit rate is set by the retail electric provider you choose, not by Oncor, and the spread between the best and worst buy-back plans changes your annual battery savings by hundreds of dollars. We walk you through which providers in the 76036 ZIP actually pay for exported solar, since the wrong choice can double your payback period. Call us and we’ll go over it line by line.
Often yes, especially in homes built between 2003 and 2018 where the builder filled every breaker slot. The battery’s backup gateway needs its own breaker, and if there’s no slot, you need a subpanel, which runs $1,200-$2,800 in Crowley. We check this before we quote so the number you see is the number you pay.
If you’re in Crowley and the power just flickered again, call (877) 550-6892. A live person answers. We’ll give you a straight number, a straight timeline, and no pressure to sign tonight. If a salesman needs an answer tonight, the answer is no.
