Good experience with Jamar Power Systems, they helped me through the process of getting an inverter replaced - and managed to help get the replacement part covered by SolarEdge Once the part was available they were prompt to install and affordable read more

I'm happy to update my review one final time. After my previous review, the owner of Jamar Power Systems personally reached out to me, listened to my concerns, and helped coordinate with the developer to ensure my issue was properly addressed. I truly appreciate the professionalism and follow-through. Most importantly, Sergio came out to my home and completely replaced the ceiling fans in both rooms. He was incredibly thorough, clean, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to make sure everything was installed correctly, cleaned up after the work was completed, and made the entire experience stress-free. I'm happy to say I absolutely love my new fans, and everything is working exactly as it should. I believe it's important to recognize companies that stand behind their work and ultimately make things right. Thank you to the owner, Sergio, and the entire Jamar team for seeing this through to a successful resolution. I truly appreciate your commitment to customer satisfaction, and I'm grateful the issue has finally been resolved. read more

Jamar Power Systems - Ceiling fan - Solar Installation Near Me - Santee, California

After 10 years my SolarEdge Inverter stopped working and was out of luck trying to contact the original solar company that installed my system. Took a chance with Jamar Power Systems and I'm so glad I did. Working with Philip, he made it easy to understand to steps to transfer my SolarEdge management to Jamar and get the process started for replacement. Even after the replacement, Philip let me know about that failed panel optimizer was down for the past 2 years, and got me in the books for replacing that as well. I can't thank them enough for the quality and speed of service deliver to get my system fully running. Huge shoutout to Clay, Marco, and Cesar that came out to do the work. read more

Great electrical contractor. Bob, Randy and the rest of the crew took care of our extensive electrical needs during a new house build in Poway. Everything was installed to spec and is working perfectly. Couple of minor issues were resolved quickly. We also had a roof-mount solar system installed by them in our previous home. Highly recommended. read more

Having issues with my Enphase Solar again... Luckily I found Jamar Power systems and was assisted by Philip A. His customer service and empathy for the customer (me) was above and beyond. Although Enphase Solar is a big bureaucracy of incompetant help desk robots, Philip was able to assist me through the endless maze of bureaucracy BS and was able to get them to ship the necessary part for free under the Enphase warranty. THANK YOU!!! read more

I contacted these clowns over a year ago to get an estimate for something. They refused to send over a technician, instead telling me that they would send a salesman. I've experienced that before with other companies and told them NO. Now, a year later, they keep sending me marketing texts EVEN AFTER I TOLD THEM TO STOP, and when I reply with STOP and block their number, they just change their number to avoid my blocking. Today they texted me from a TWILIO number with is a VoIP provider that will give them UNLIMITED numbers to avoid blocking. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. It's illegal to contact me after I tell them to stop and they keep doing it so if they won't obey THAT LAW, what makes you think they'll comply with other laws? And sending a saleman who doesn't install is the way a lot of companies do this stuff and it inflates the cost of projects unreasonably and the salesman may tell you the job is going to be done a particular way and that might be the wrong way. I have had salesmen quote me DOUBLE what other good companies will do jobs for. AVOID THIS COMPANY! I told you so. read more

Electrician was professional, left his shoes at the door after every entry, very focused and determined to find the difficult sores of the problem ! RR read more

Contacted Philip Altiche at Jamar Power Systems for a simple improvement to my existing solar system. The initial response was good, went downhill from there,, never running out of excuses and asking questions normally one would be asking an electrician. In response to Philip E. response.... what I have been asking very specifically is for an installation of a 220v outlet. Maybe, the fact that I do have solar is confusing. And maybe the fact that I am expecting delivery of an EV is confusing. Maybe I am talking too much. Just tell me and I have provided 5x the details with pictures what a 220v outlet addition in my garage will cost. read more

I just had my solar installed by Jamar. They are the most professional, thorough and easiest vendor I've ever worked with.....by far! Great team all the way around! I'd use them again and highly recommend. read more

3rd time hiring Jamar Power systems to replace / repair my existing system. After installing a new monitoring system, It was verified that my LG 280 panels were only producing at the most, 100watt/hour per day. All 20 of them. I hired Jamar power systems to install a new system to repair my old system which broke down after less than 10 years of service. I hope my new Q-cell system will last me over 20 years. Clay, Camillo, and Tory showed up at 7:45am sharp for an 8am start time. In less than 5 hours, these guys had my system up and running. Thanks to Rick, and especially Philip for working with me when my original Solar Installer refused to call me back. Sad but that's the reality with solar companies. Jamar responded to all my inquiries, promptly, honestly and made sure they didn't waste anytime scheduling. I will probably hire them again in the near future to upgrade my main breaker panel. read more

Update:. I'm happy to be able to say that we heard back from Philip right away after posting the previous review. He drove up to our home in Oceanside this morning to troubleshoot our system issue. Fortunately, it appears to be something that affects the reporting part, not the actual production part of our solar array. And the parts are still within warranty. We appreciate that Jamar reads and takes their reviews to heart. So, thanks to Jamar Power Systems! read more

Great service on our electrical system for well needs all of their employees are very friendly and professional read more

Everyone we have worked with at Jamar has been so friendly and professional. After a week of frustration trying to work with other companies, Clay came to the rescue! A+++++ read more

I cannot say enough good things about this company & all their employees. They installed our system quickly before the big NEM3 decrease in SDGE credits. There was one issue that had nothing to do with them - my internet failed - & a worker came out quickly & fixed it right away. Our system works great & they were competitively priced (I checked other companies). Overall, one of the best companies I have ever dealt with! read more

Rob visited my new townhome to address a small problem He was courteous and professional all the while addressing the issue quickly. I'm glad he was able to get things done so fast and will definitely be looking to call Jamar for any future electrical needs. read more

Shortly after my review, just three months later, my inverter failed. A little disappointed that it was only 8 years old but it was still within the 12 year warranty. Jamar was fairly quick to check the bad unit and have a new replacement installed in less than a month. It seems half or more installers have gone out of business since my installation in 2015 so I'm glad Jamar is still in business and doing well. read more

Great company that stands behind their agreement! My system was producing below production estimates and it was determined that the shade analysis was incorrect. Without asking they added 4 panels at their cost. Now I'm producing more than estimated. I'm in the construction business and can tell you they did everything as they should.... and I'm picky. Very professional. read more

The Jamar team, from start to finish, are professionals and know what they are doing. I hired JPS to install solar on my very sunny roof in Kensington. They coddled me like a baby, I knew exactly where we stood at all stages of the project, including being informed of a 1 day delay due to rain - but the job was still completed on time. Imagine that, a contractor that allowed for the joy of an on time and on budget completion. Thank you Jamar. The real benefits now begin with SDG&E's "net metering" program....you generate excess electric and it is credited towards when you use it. I'll drink to that...no more $200 monthly electric bills. Let the sun shine!!! See the power I am generating at : http://enlighten.enphaseenergy.com/public/systems/9atJ13720 If you are thinking of solar, give these guys a call - YOU WON"T REGRET IT!....Please tell them Jeff in Kensington referred you, I need my $250 referral bonus. read more

I live in East County where the power is shut off by SDG&E all the time due to "high winds". My power is probably turned off about 6-8 times a year for this reason or another. Most recently it was scheduled to be off for 4 days. Luckily after 2 1/2 days, the power came back on. My home doesn't have a battery backup system or generator. So during those this time, I would sit in my vehicle and power up my kid's school chrome books and power banks so I could charge the cell phones. After this most recent power outage, I had it! I decided to get a generator. Luckily for me, SDG&E was having a $300.00 rebate on certain types of generators bought from Home Depot or Lowes. I contacted Jamar Power Systems in Santee. I have used them for many years. I first learned about them when checking the Better Business Bureau and they had a high rating (A+). I called Jamar Power Systems and spoke to Mike Baumeister. I explained to him that I had seen (on U-tube) how a homeowner hooked up a large plug outlet to his utility box and when the power went out he would shut the utility box off, plug in a cord and turn on his generator to power the entire house. Mike asked me to send him a photo of my utility box which I did. He e-mailed me back and said that they could do that project and provided a detailed list of what I would need. It was so detailed that he sent links so that I could see the photos of the items and prices. Mike recommended two of the generators on the rebate list and even told me about a local place where I could buy a specific amount of special 6 gauge wiring for the cord. After I had all the items I scheduled for an appointment. I told my next-door neighbor about this project. She who also bought a generator and also purchased the same items and spoke to Mike and scheduled her appointment right after mine. Jamar Power Systems technician Rob showed up at my home on Christmas Eve. Rob has been to my residence on prior occasions due to electrical issues that have occurred. Rob was on time and courteous as usual. I explained to him what I wanted to have done. He got right to it. It even started sprinkling toward the end of the project. He completed the project in the rain! Thank you Mike and Rob for all your help. read more

I would absolutely recommend Jamar Power Systems! They did an amazing job with our solar project! The price was right, the installation was quick, the representatives were educated, friendly, on time, and very responsive. Our solar is working great and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Jamar Power Systems! read more

We were fortunate to get a referral to Jamar to work on our home Vantage Lighting system. They were super responsive and did an amazing job in diagnosing and fixing our lighting system. Randy and Bob both went beyond the call of duty to help us fix our existing lighting system without spending a fortune to do so. Honest & dependable service. Thank you Jamar Team The Hansons read more

I asked the electricians to take down 7 chandeliers. The antique & expensive fixtures were removed but will be replaced at a later date. The guys carefully took down the lighting and didn't break anything. The job was priced reasonably considering the delicate nature of each piece. I will call them for future work. They were quiet, easy to work with and on time. read more

We already gotten quotes from four different companies (two possibles, two obvious no-go's) when a neighbor said we MUST talk to Vince at Jamar Power before signing with anyone else. 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. We're old enough to have seen a few economic cycles, and it seems likely that many of today's solar companies will disappear after 2016. Jamar has been in the electrical business for many years, and is likely to continue for many more. I'm 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. I just can't say enough about how smoothly and perfectly everything went! We're 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! read more

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! read more

Jamar Power Systems - Solar Installation Near Me - Santee, California

We just had an 4.8k system installed by Jamar in December. We interviewed 5 companies and are very happy with our decision to choose them. No strong selling you the product you don't want. No back or forth pricing negation game. Got the price we want first time (referral price). They delivered everything they promised: quality products, friendly personnel, best price in town, timely responses, and most importantly - within the timeframe we agreed. They show up on time every day, and planned well even for rainy days (doing wiring and inverter installation inside garage). They had very neat installation and paid attention to every details such as painting the conduit to match the color of the house. We have a neighbor started the installation same day as we did with another company. When our system already operated for more than half month, they were still waiting for inspection! I'll add some pictures later. read more

Excellent customer service and knowledgeable electricians. They set me up with a plug in for my EV and ended up also fixing my flickering lights from the previous contractor's spotty work. Win win. They were always on time and kept me updated with reminders about the appointment. Would 100% recommend for all electrical needs. read more

I would highly recommend Jamar Power Systems to anyone who is looking for solar. This was a painless and easy process from beginning to end. Working with Hal in the initial sales process was a big part of the reason we chose JPS - he was very helpful, full of information and we did not feel pressured at all. Rick did a great job during the scheduling and was always available if I had any questions. Marco and Clay were great to work with during the installation. Thanks to the JPS team, and we couldn't be happier. read more

Jamar is awesome. Jamar recently completed my install of 27 panels. From start to finish ALL of the individuals involved in my purchase and installation were stellar. Having had problems with contractors in the past, I was so pleased to find an organization like Jamar that really did quality work and showed a lot of integrity. One of the best examples was the way they walked me through the process. Both their sales and their installers kept me informed throughout the entire install. They were on-time, no delays, and their estimate was firm. I might add that Jamar blew away the competition on price. Thanks again Jamar!! Waynne Noel read more

We just had a new roof installed and the solar system (installed by another company about seven years ago) had to be removed and reinstalled as part of the roofing process. The timing for the solar to be taken off and put back on was important. Rick Follett of Jamar did an excellent job coordinating the job with the roofers. Jamar's employees were careful where they stacked the panels in our yard and were neat, thorough and professional. read more

The people at Jamar set us up with an exceptional Solar system for our new home in Escondido. They gave us several options and set us up with easy financing. The guys just installed everything this week and connected the system today. It looks exceptionally clean on our rooftop. Super easy process and great service from this team! read more

We were very satisfied with Jamar Electric Inc. From start to finish they were very professional. the sales person, Vince Jakimzak, came out and explained their system in a way that was easy for a lay person (us) to understand. The installation went very smooth, The job was done earlier than the date they gave us as the completion date. I would highly recommend Jamar it if you want great honest job done for your solar. David and Linda Holt read more

I don't know what to say, these guys are as good as it gets. Promised to have us up and running by the end of the year and did it. Every employee I met was interested in providing excellent customer service. Everything they promised, they delivered. No reason to go to anyone else. Ask for Jim Christiana, he totally walked us through the whole process and personally came up today to make sure everything was working and we were happy..Awesome read more

Power went out and we had 0 air conditioning in July. No Bueno. I called Jamar and they were here SAME DAY!!! Rob was awesome. He checked outlets in my kid's room DURRING NAP and didn't wake them!!!! After fixing my husband's shoddy electrical work (sorry babe, love you), Rob gave me a high five and a cell phone picture so I could give the husband a hard time. Top notch guy! Reasonable prices! read more

Very professional. They not only finished the solar job in an organized manner, but also helped me with my other electrical problems. They know what they're doing and are one of the best in the business. Pleasure working with them. read more

I never expected the installation of our system to go in without a hitch, but from the Jamar end of things, it did. I can only find superlatives to use about this company. Their electrician Dan is the hardest and most professional installer I have ever work with. The system is up and running and keeping us in the black (financially!) in spite of the fact that I need to do some tree trimming to optimize the sun light on the panels. If you are thinking solar, think Jamar. Don't think of going anywhere else! read more

I don't know why I didn't write this review years ago....Jamar did a 4.8kW rooftop PV solar system for us a few years back and we've been very happy with the results ever since. They did a great job during the install including working with us to minimize the visual impact of the system. Of the 3 quotes we got Jamar was by far the best value, and they were the only installer proposing micro-inverters which really set them apart. To top it all some months after install when one of our panels failed under warranty Jamar called us within a day, diagnosed it, got in a new panel and within a week had it back to normal. We hadn't even noticed the panel went bad but they did via the online monitoring, and they handled all the warranty stuff for us, just like they handled all the state/federal rebate paperwork and so forth when we did the initial install. I can't recommend these guys enough. read more

Rob was fantastic! We had a lot of trouble getting other companies to respond and/or show up when they said, but Jamar was very professional and is waiting to take payment until the final minor part of the job is complete (we need to have the appliance delivered first). Poor Rob had to work outside in 100+ degree weather and was sweating like crazy, but he didn't complain at all. Plus he has a quirky sense of humor. Will definitely use him again! read more

Just finished installation of a 4.8KW system based on LG300N1C panels and SolarEdge inverter in Carlsbad. Overall I'm very satisfied. Being an engineer, I like to research every detail, from selecting panels, inverters, mounting HWs to installation steps and materials. Vince (sales) and Rick (PM) were always patient with me. On top of that, they gave me the most competitive pricing for the system I want. Once the permit was received (which did take some time), the installation was really quick. The installer, Aaron even helped me get on the roof to take some pictures and explained how double flashing help to prevent future roof leaks. When they were done, they cleaned the area and took all the wastes.The performance of the system has so far been much better than what pvwatts estimates. For reference, here is the public site of my system http://tiny.cc/1z71lx. read more

After obtaining six quotes from different solar companies, big and small, I selected Jamar Power Systems for our 32 panel system. Their people were all top notch, from their sales guy Vince to installation foreman Rudy. No complaints on anything, they aim to please and followed through on everything I asked for. Highly recommended! AAA +++ read more

Over the course of 10 months we had taken our time with many Solar Companies. From those that mailed us to those that advertised on TV. Jamar was one of the first we called; we saw their number on a building off the highway! Matt was Great no pressure sales there. He was very patience in answering all of our questions. Even months after our first meeting. He took the time to review all the other proposals' that we received from buying the system to leasing the system. After 10 months we decided on Jamar and couldn't be happier! Once we gave the Ok our system was coordinated by Rick. Rick & Matt at Jamar followed through and gave us dates for mapping, install, permits, and start up date of our system for 1 months time out. I was very worried about the install right from the very start. I reed so many horror stories about companies taking months to install and bad reviews of installs and roofs leaking. But I was ensured that Jamer installs these systems for other solar companies as well. You see they have no sub-contracted installers ( as other companies do and ask companies if they install the systems themselves or not) Jamar does everything from start to finish. No Middleman! So we were good to go. Install day came and the crew was on time. They were time everyday and always very professional. They even finished a day earlier even though we had 2 days of rain that would have set them back but didn't. SDGE was on time for inspection of the system and Jamar passed with flying colors. It was mapped out, installed and approved by SDGE all in 1 week's time. After having our system for 6 months we are starting to see the savings for us. I just love being able to monitor our system from anywhere. I'm always showing very one what our system is doing on my phone. Jamar is a true leader in Solar. If you haven't thought of calling them well you should! You will truly see a difference in this company! Keep up the Great work Jamar! read more
