The Verdict

Nationwide Sun earns an unreserved recommendation. We analyzed reviews spanning installations from 2019 through 2025 and couldn't find a single complaint about workmanship, missed deadlines, or unresponsive support. One homeowner watched installers work until 11:30 p.m. on a Friday to finish a battery integration that same night. Another had a spark plug fail during a power outage, called the owner, and had a technician drive an hour out that afternoon at no charge. Reviews show 121 mentions of reliable project management, and that includes handling the permitting paperwork, coordinating city inspections, and chasing down PG&E approvals without the customer lifting a finger. What sets them apart is Frank (the owner) personally quoting jobs and sometimes installing systems himself. One engineer who vetted four other companies said the technical expertise in that first conversation made the decision obvious. The owner also designed a custom solar carport for a couple who refused to clear their orchard, a creative solution no other installer would attempt. If you want an installer who'll show up in the rain to fix a problem they didn't cause, this is the company.

If you're weighing purely on sticker price, you might find a marginally lower quote elsewhere. But if you want an installer who answers emails faster than you answer texts, coordinates every permit and inspection without chasing, and sends a tech out the same day when something goes wrong two years later, the premium is worth it.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Do SuPhu
Google | May 31, 2024 |

Do SuPhu had Nationwide Sun install a residential solar panel system in 2019, and the job started with an unusual detail: the company’s CEO, Frank Dasmacci, personally carried out the installation. He walked away impressed by the craftsmanship — the crew fitted a bird and rodent screen around the array so critters couldn’t get underneath, a small but telling touch. In 2023 he chose the same company to add a 10 kWh battery, and the installers, James and Joseph, worked straight through and finished the job at 11:30 p.m. on a Friday, a level of dedication that stood out. Nationwide Sun also handled every administrative step — drawing plans, pulling permits, passing inspection and coordinating with PG&E — which kept the process low-hassle. On top of that, their overall price came in lowest among the installers he contacted. He’s now considering adding a few more panels to push his net usage with PG&E to zero. What still sticks with him is the image of the CEO on the roof and the team finishing the battery install late into the night — concrete signs that the company backs its work.

2. Daniel W.
Yelp | Nov 23, 2022 |

Daniel started the process after a neighbor — an engineer who’d just had panels installed — pointed him to Nationwide Sun. He connected with Michael and Ryan to design an 8 kW system made up of 20 panels, and was genuinely surprised at how much prices had dropped compared with a quote he’d received two years earlier. Because his roof needed replacement first, he finalized the solar contract while he got the roof done by a separate crew, and Nationwide Sun kept constant contact so permitting and installation could begin the moment the new roof was finished. Ray stepped in to manage the project and the install crew showed up, worked cleanly and efficiently, and had the whole array installed and running in a single day. What began as an inquiry at the start of September turned into a new roof and a functioning solar system by month’s end. Permitting and inspection can be opaque, but Randy in the permitting department guided him through every step, answering questions almost instantly and keeping him updated on the placard, scheduled inspections, and timelines. A tech from the company even arrived an hour before the city inspection to walk the system and ensure everything was in ­—

3. Round Parts
Google | Oct 6, 2022 |

Round Parts found himself buying a Generac automatic home generator in Fall 2020 through Home Depot—a $0-down, two-year interest-free deal—after growing tired of hauling a loud portable unit every time PG&E pulled power in his fire-country neighborhood. He lives where Public Safety Power Shutoffs are common and rain makes running a portable generator even trickier, so a permanent install felt like a necessity rather than a luxury. He was assigned Nationwide Sun to do the job. Frank stepped in as the main point of contact and set a clear deadline: the unit would be installed by November 1. Nationwide Sun was swamped with installs that season, but Frank kept the promise and called two days before the deadline to say the generator had arrived and they’d be there—timing that felt especially welcome because Round Parts was in the middle of a PSPS when the call came. The crew showed up on time, completed the bulk of the work that day and returned the next day to finish. They swapped in a brand-new main panel alongside the Generac transfer panel, and the finished setup looked cleaner than the original electrical work. What stuck with him most happened later, during a long outage: a se

What You Can Expect

01

1. Tony W.
Yelp | Oct 24, 2025 |

Tony W. chose this company to install a residential solar system a few years ago; the array was switched on two years ago and has run flawlessly ever since. He ended up with Enphase microinverters and Panasonic panels, and found the price more reasonable than the other quotes he gathered at the time. The crew carried themselves professionally through the process, and the steady, trouble-free performance is why he has steered friends and neighbors toward them. The clearest takeaway for him: brand-name components plus two years of uninterrupted operation.

2. Rich Selberg
Google | Sep 19, 2023 |

During his dealings with the company, Rich Selberg found the customer service outstanding. He encountered friendly, easy-to-talk-to staff and appreciated their reliability — when they promised something they followed through. He left with a five-star impression, and the single detail that stuck was the company’s consistent follow-through on commitments.

2. Amanda Blankenhorn
Google | May 21, 2024 |

Amanda discovered that Nationwide Sun did more than install her solar system — they handled the job reliably and treated her like a person, not a ticket number. She appreciated how personable and attentive the team remained, checking in and answering questions long after the panels went up. More than a year after the install they still pick up the phone and help troubleshoot, which surprised her because that kind of follow-through is rare. The ongoing access to support turned an ordinary project into a reassuring experience. She even joked that the only thing that would make her happier is if they started delivering water — she would be first in line. The lasting availability and friendly service is the detail she'll remember when telling others about the company.

3. Ken Williams
Google | Nov 30, 2022 |

Ken Williams chose National Sun for a rooftop solar system on his home about four years ago and has watched it deliver steady, reliable performance. He experienced a straightforward installation and consistent output, and when he needed follow-up service the company responded promptly and professionally. After four years, the thing that sticks with him is the combination of dependable performance and attentive aftercare.

1. Chris Carey
Google | Jul 29, 2023 |

Chris decided several years ago to install a standby generator after Home Depot referred him to Nationwide Sun. He chose Nationwide Sun to do the work and found the installation and, crucially, the follow-up service reliable and thorough. That dependable aftercare turned a one‑time install into an ongoing relationship; he continues to use Nationwide Sun and expects to call on them for future projects. The detail that stands out is the consistent follow-up that kept him confident enough to remain a repeat customer.

2. John Bush
Google | Nov 23, 2022 |

John Bush hired Nationwide in February 2020 to install a 22 kW whole-house generator at his home. The crew replaced the junction box, ran all new wiring and breakers, and left a tidy, high-quality installation that went smoothly from start to finish. When a small issue popped up, the owner personally came out in the rain to fix it, and the system has run without problems ever since. The generator automatically exercises itself on a schedule he set through the Generac Mobile Link app, and when the power has failed it has performed exactly as intended. The detail that stood out most was the owner showing up in bad weather to make the repair — paired with the app-driven, trouble-free operation, that’s the memory he walks away with.

3. John D.
Google | Oct 20, 2022 |

John D. paid a premium for a two-generator backup system and discovered the installation reflected top-notch, professional workmanship. He has had both generators run flawlessly for three years, and that sustained reliability is the clearest takeaway against the higher cost.
