Jamar Power Systems - Santee, California

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 wife's Tesla. After sifting through the contenders, I chose Jamar Power System, and here's why:
* Communication: Philip didn't 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 didn't 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 didn't bat an eye. No sleazy salesman vibes here--just straight talk and transparency.
* Value: Jamar wasn't exactly the bargain basement option, but I didn't 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. I'll 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. I'll 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 Neovolta's 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 they'd 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 hadn't 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!
