Rock-solid Solar
Tell the sun it’s PAYBACK TIME for those Houston summers!
Around 30% savings on solar from Petrus when compared to the big boys.
The savings start before you even hook up your panels when you choose Petrus Roofing and Solar. Because our in-house crews take care of everything from install to warranty, and everything in between, our pricing is most often 30% cheaper than the pricing of the middleman solar sales teams. Big solar companies subcontract out the actual work of installation, who may not be skilled roofers, and every middleman along the way gets their markup and makes their profit off of you. We handle it all, making your solar project better and more affordable!
Rock-Solid Components
The solar panels we install are 400w bi-facial panels. We only use tier 1 panels from Texas solar suppliers. To simplify residential solutions, we use the great EG4 all-in-one solar inverter and EG4’s excellent PowerPro battery system. Connected together, you get an incredible, scalable solar power to lower your bills and achieve energy independence!
Don’t get scammed!
You can find HUNDREDS of local news videos on YouTube of solar scammers offering free panels or energy. Free solar panels through SPPAs are enticing but are not created to benefit the homeowner. What is a SPPA, and why do we not offer them? Read more about Solar Power Purchase Agreements (SPPA) at EPA.gov.
Do not lease your solar. Do not let other companies make wild promises about going solar. Do not trust random door-knockers who are selling solar.
This is a big and potentially expensive decision. Get all the facts first and chose to go with an installer you can trust that won’t pressure you into buying something you will regret.
A Good Defense Before Going Solar
First, defend yourself from summer cooling costs by making sure your attic is air sealed and you have the right amount of insulation. Air leaks from your home into the 150 degree attic is the number one culprit of high energy costs. Every spot where a wall meets your attic floor needs to be sealed, and the chimney and any HVAC duct chases.
Second, deal with all issues with your attic insulation. If its been over 20 years, get all the old stuff vacuumed out and new insulation blown in. This will result in substantial savings before you go solar!
Additional steps are installing solar screens over your (south-facing) windows, investing in a dehumidifier, and checking your weather stripping around doors and windows.
Because we’re a solar company AND roofing company, we know how the systems interact and can provide comprehensive customer service.

Understanding Texas Home Energy Usage
Texas is known for its high energy consumption, particularly due to air conditioning during the hot summer months. The average Texas home uses around 1,200 kWh per month (14,400 kWh annually). Solar panels can generate substantial amounts of electricity, offsetting this consumption and reducing reliance on the grid. With over 200 sunny days annually, Greater Houston is perfectly positioned to maximize the benefits of solar energy.
