Review 1 (2024-03-05 - Rating: 5)
3/4/24 UPDATE:Today was install day for my solar monitoring system. In my previous review, I said I would update my review. Marco and Cesar showed up right on time, actually a little early which I appreciated. They worked till lunch and returned after lunch to finish and button up the job. My solar array communicated with my new monitoring system. They Marco and Cesar were extremely respectful, showed up on time, and cleaned up after the job to make sure nothing was left on the ground. I would highly recommend them to friends and family. My previous solar company who installed my solar 9 years ago ghosted me and never called me back. Jamar was referred to me by a friend who had their solar installed 9 years ago. I should have hired them back then. I will have them back to either upgrade my solar panels or install some enphase batteries. Great Job Marco and Cesar! And Rick was also instrumental in scheduling and planning the project. I’m looking forward to hiring them again for my back up battery install and or solar upgrade!I hit up a bunch of Solar Companies and electricians to rescue my solar panels from their year-long slump and to install a NEMA 14-50 plug for my wifes Tesla. After sifting through the contenders, I chose Jamar Power System, and heres why:* Communication: Philip didnt just send a carrier pigeon with his quote; he hit me up via email like a modern-day falconer. Quick as a hiccup, he set up a time to swing by for a bid. And the BID was FREE! Whenever I buzzed him up via call, email, or even a text, Phil was on it faster than a dog on a dropped hot dog. He listened to my plethora of concerns and patiently broke down every nut and bolt of the plan like a solar-powered professor.* Honesty: Phil didnt try to sell me the moon on a stick. He showed up, did his spiel without shoving upgrades down my throat, and actually listened to what I had to say. I had my shopping list ready from Enphase since their gear was rarer than a unicorn on roller skates, but Phil didnt bat an eye. No sleazy salesman vibes here--just straight talk and transparency.* Value: Jamar wasnt exactly the bargain basement option, but I didnt pick them because they were the thriftiest. I picked them because I had a gut feeling they could handle the job. Phil strutted in, oozing confidence like a pro, assuring me they were the Enphase wizzards. Sold!* Quality and Commitment: Alright, so the solar fix is still in progress, but they did zip in to slap that NEMA 14-50 plug in pronto when I gave the word. I rang Phil up and said, Hey, buddy, can we fast-track this plug party? And zap! It was done. Ill be back with updates once my solar problems are sorted.So, stay tuned for the sequel--same solar time, same solar channel!Rob (the electrician) and Phil showed up Friday afternoon and completed the outdoor plug. My wife was ecstatic that she can finally charge on our driveway instead of going to a supercharger every time her car needed juice. I will be recommending Jamar to my friends and family from now on. Our last Solar Installer disappeared and ghosted all my calls for service.And....the company whom I thought I was gonna hire flaked on me a few hours before the job. Ill be reviewing them soon.

Our experience with JAMAR includes installation of a 22 panel solar system in 2010, adding on another 8 panels around 2019, repairing a 240V plug in the garage, updating our microinverters sometime and more recently installing an EV charger in the driveway. JAMAR is reliable and does high quality work that they stand behind, and that gives us peace of mind. I Highly recommend them.

I selected JAMAR Power Systems to install solar panels on my home 9 years ago. I have used JAMAR for several other smaller jobs in the interim. I recently selected JAMAR to install a battery back up system. JAMAR assisted with the pros and cons of a Tesla Lithium-Ion versus Neovolta Litium Iron system. We were pleased to select the NV24 system. We were sold on NV being fire safe compared to Li-Ion and its longer life span. Not to mention Neovoltas production facilities are right here in San Diego County. The entire process from getting the required permits to the final installation went smoothly. JAMARS workers are top notch. We are very pleased with the installation. We are happy to recommend JAMAR for Solar, Battery Backup and all homeowner electrical needs. They are sure to exceed your expectations!

Both office and field staff were a pleasure to work with. They did what they said they would do, when they said theyd do it, and at the price quoted. We had a second Tesla Powerwall installed. I highly recommend Jamar Power Systems.

Jamar Power Systems is the best when it comes to electrical or solar problems. The technicians are professional, knowledgeable, polite and friendly. At the same time they know how to troubleshoot an electrical problem. We had a problem on a solar panel and it was determined to be an easy fix. Unbeknown to us our solar system hadnt worked for 8 months. When we received the bill we almost died and quickly called Jamar Power Systems. So happy we did because our solar system in now up and running, regenerating energy back to the grid. Thank you Jamar Power Systems. In our opinion you are the best.

I had two micro inverters go bad Rick From Jamar Power Systems ordered them and they were sent directly to me. I contacted Rick when I received the inverters. They gave me a date within a couple days to come and install. They showed up at the time we scheduled and installed, all is good.Thanks for being responsive and getting the installation done in a timely manner.

These guys provided the best quote out of 4 contractors. They offered me several options for solar panels and described how each part worked in the system. They called two weeks ahead of my scheduled date to say that they had an opening and were available. They pre-filled all the SDGE forms for my application to NEM and I was connected as soon as the county inspector approved their work.

JPS did a great job repairing my solar system. I needed a J Box replaced since mine had water damage. The support staff that helped schedule the appointment was great and very responsive. The electrician that did the work was very professional, well trained, and pleasant to interact with. The total cost was very competitive ( the best that I have found anywhere) and the job was completed on time and to my total satisfaction. Awesome job!

Very professional and easy to deal with for solar, electrical, etc. They arrive on time, leave work area spotless and complete the job in timely manner. Excellent work ethics!With all of the above…..they have competitive pricing! They are now my #1 ‘go to’ for Solar and electrical work.

We considered several companies for our solar installation. Although we never met our sales rep in person, we felt he gave us a comprehensive overview as well as details about what to expect. The bid was competitive. When it came time for the job, the communication with us and the roofing company was excellent. The technicians arrived when expected, they were considerate and professional. Clay and Camillo were especially helpful with the electrical panel upgrade and troubleshooting for specific circuit issues. Per the experience of friends and neighbors, we were expecting to wait weeks, even months, for the final SDG&E inspection and connection of the solar system. What a great surprise when SDG&E offered us a fast track, online inspection and we were up and running 2 days later! Thank you to the whole Jamar team for making this big investment in our house a positive experience

Amazing Service and quality of these guys are amazing! You need to use them if you’re thinking about solar system. They did my first install and did an awesome job. I compared three other solar companies and Jamar was by far the best choice. I did not want to rely on contracts and paying another company to track my power when I could do it myself. This team did an amazing quality job and I would recommend them for anyone wanting a solar system installed on their house. I had them add a few extra panels to further zero out my bill, The price was very competitive and I would highly recommend them.

Review 12 (2023-07-18 - Rating: 5)
This was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a contractor. It was so painless from beginning to end. Their excellent communication and quick responses is what sets them apart from the rest. I will be sure to hire them for our future power needs and also recommend them to all of our friends.

Jamar Power Systems installed my solar. It’s a long process because of permits and things but someone was always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. I am very pleased with them and would use them again. I love my solar!

We have used Jamar Power Systems for about five years. I have found their team to be extremely responsive and capable. They have always done a wonderful job for us.They have dedicated customer service to take care of any customer issues.Phil Edwards, at Jamar is very helpful and friendly. He has a great team going there.I am very pleased with their services over the years.

The guys did an excellent job removing and reinstalling the panels when we had the house reroofed. They even went the extra mile to clean and reuse the clamps. This saved us some money and was appreciated more than they know. I really like the can do attitude everyone at Jamar has in dealing with the clients. Thanks so very much for all your help.

We were so happy with our experience with Jamar! Phillip was amazing! Super responsive and helpful! The service was impeccable! Exactly what we were looking for! Would recommend for anyone!! I researched for a while and this by far was the best company and service out there!

We have nothing but good things to say about Jamar Power Systems. They were so easy to work with - from our original installation in 10/2011 to our recent upgrade in 7/2019 - Phil, Rick and Clay were there for us and punctual, whether it was by phone, email or in-person. Great service throughout these 9 years!!

Jamar Power Systems did not disappoint with our Solar project. From design, to financing, to installation, we were extremely pleased with Jamar. The whole experience with Jamar was exceptional. I would recommend them to anyone who is considering Solar Power as a means to reduce their energy bills and improve their Green contribution to Mother Earth.

Absolutely awesome! Our solar went up so fast, half the time it took our friends to get theirs. We are super happy that we chose Jamar power thanks guys!

Jamar Power Systems Company are Great!Worked with Clay and Rick, they came up with the perfect solution for our solar repairs and got our system up and running again, its nice to see a negative again on our SDGE bill.Thanks again Clay and Rick!

Review 23 (2020-11-21 - Rating: 5)
Our project with JAMAR was for removal and re-installation of our solar system, which was installed by another firm, for the purposes of refurbishing the roof of our home. I decided on JAMAR because the original firm wanted at least twice what JAMAR quoted for this process, and as it turned out, did not do a correct installation in the first place as pointed out by Rick Follet of JAMAR. Rick patiently explained what was wrong with the original installation and outlined what was needed to correct the deficiencies. This was especially important as their were violations to existing construction code. There was more than one issue caused by the other firms working on our Home Makeover, but Rick and his crew patiently worked around them. Ricks flexibility and knowledge of the industry was of great comfort to us and was a bright spot in an otherwise chaotic process. I very much recommend Rick and his team at JAMAR, who performed rapidly and timely in the execution of our project.Richard SchindlerSantee, CA

We already gotten quotes from four different companies (two possibles, two obvious no-gos) when a neighbor said we MUST talk to Vince at Jamar Power before signing with anyone else. This was back in 2015; our system went online in July of 2015.We were immediately impressed with Jamar: Vince outlined what he thought we needed, answered all our questions and concerns thoroughly and with great patience. We liked that Jamar has a long history in the electrical business and does not subcontract out the work, like many do. Were old enough to have seen a few economic cycles, and it seems likely that many of todays solar companies will disappear after 2016. Jamar has been in the electrical business for many years, and is likely to continue for many more.Im a geek, and I found the technical stuff fascinating. The SolarEdge system has the advantages of both string and microinverter systems, at reasonable cost, with the MPPT work being done on the roof by intelligent power optimizers, which are very efficient (see Wikipedia on buck-boost converters for more). The optimizers feed DC power to a string inverter, keeping all the more fragile components off the roof in a more sheltered environment. SolarEdge looks to be a well-run, well-capitalized company that is likely to be in business for many years.We went with 24 LG305 panels with SolarEdge power optimizers and SE7600 inverter, a 7.32 kW system adequate to handle our pool and a/c needs. Panel-level monitoring is provided, so you can show off at lunchtime with your cellphone.Installation dovetailed perfectly with our roofer (Mark Anthony Construction and Roofing, also a class act that I highly recommend), so the whole project, roof and solar, was all done in 8 days!Everything went perfectly! Because our breaker box was maxxed out, Jamar installed an extra electrical sub-panel at no extra cost. Everything was done quickly, neatly, no muss, no fuss, and no mess. They explained every component of the system and how to operate it.Everything looked great when they finished, and of course it passed inspection. We were approved and making power two weeks from when they had started work, and less than six weeks after signing a contract, in time to turn the summer sun into money, and be grandfathered into net metering.Its been almost three years since Jamar installed our solar system, and it all works perfectly. Our electric bills are essentially zero!I just cant say enough about how smoothly and perfectly everything went! Were usually a little apprehensive about home projects, but this could not have gone better!Jamar Power is an excellent company and I would recommend them to anyone!

I had a problem with my microwave and needed to have it fixed asap. Called Jamar office and they connected me to a technician, Phil. We set a time and he was on my door even before schedule. It turned out it was not a major issue (but I want a more professional approach when it comes to electricals).Didnt take long for me to learn vital and important measures from Phil. He was too willing to help and that I appreciated much!

This company installed our solar for the home and right from Hal, Rick, Juan and a long hair guy sorry I did not ask him his name, they were professional, timely, best priced and above all excellent customer service. Thank you for an outstanding job with great integrity and honesty!

Its been one full year since Jamar installed solar for my home and it has proven to be a wise decision. Our electric bills have vanished. As for the actual installation, it was done on time and per the bid.

Review 29 (2020-08-22 - Rating: 5)
We were pleased with everyone we dealt with. Mike, Clay (and his installation crew) and Brandy were all very professional and helpful. The only concern we have is whether we put enough panels on. We’re only generating half the electricity we are using each day.

Today I had a technician come out to assist with a new build and program the timer for my exterior lights. I received a text message link to do a review and it unfortunately didn’t allow me to properly give a review (stars) I clicked on one and it instantly locked it in. I hope they are able to not have that review on here but if it is allowed I wanted to update to a 5 star review.The technician who came out was awesome. He took the time to explain the process and walk me through it. My issue is with the timer itself which has nothing to do with this company. So based on my experience with the company they def deserve a 5 star.If the review is about the Lat/Long disregard it as this is the proper review for 5 stars. Thank you again for assisting.

Jamar installed solar panels on our house. I could not be happier so far. The installation was completed earlier than scheduled and the whole process was smooth. Clay, the electrician, was extremely helpful and took extra time with getting the system running the way we were expecting. We opted for a solar when the sun shines technology. This weekend in December we were able to test this with an electric grid outage. All worked as planned and the solar backup kicked in without a hitch. They dont use any salesman type pressure tactics which seems rare in the solar industry and was reassuring. We would defiantly recommend Jamar Power Systems..

I couldnt be happier! Jamar solved a problem I had been attempting to solve with other companies for over 2 years! Was an orphan from another solar company that went bankrupt and no one else could get my remote monitoring back up and running. Clay, an electrician from Jamar, had my system monitoring in no time. Really impressed. Also, Philip and his team really know how to treat people well. Having had my own business for 35 years, I know how important good service and treating people with a sense of friendship is to growing a business. Jamar is absolutely tops in its field and I would (and will) be referring business to this company. Bravo!!

I had Jamar install my solar panels 3 months ago. I interviewed three local companies. Jamar won my business with price and quality. A colleague at work had used Jamar and was also impressed with the quality of their work. Hal and Rick thoroughly explained the process and equipment to me. Rick was always available to talk by phone. Install went smoothly. Price was extremely competitive. Im very happy. Would recommend them without reservation.

When I first looked for an electrician and solar company (for repairs to my existing unit) I had no idea where to turn. Numerous companies were listed so I did what everybody should do, check the San Diego Better Business Bureau. Jamar Power Systems was rated very highly. I used them on an extensive underground electrical repair job and they were outstanding. I have used them twice since when I developed problems with my solar power system. Once again they were outstanding. Their electrician (Rob) was sent out to my property each time. That made it easier since he was familiar with my entire system. Thank you Rick, Mike (who did extensive research in my solar problem) and especially Rob for doing an outstanding job!!
