Jamar Power Systems

Tax Credit and Reduced Electic Bill

I've wanted solar for the last few years. 4 years ago Jamar had won my business and the. Life circumstances took a change and I had to stop the install. October 2012 I heard of a program called HERO and it would help wipe out my Tax debt and give me the Solar without a lease!!!! That was just what I was looking for. I compared quotes and Jamar won me again. Their outstanding service and installers are the reason I max the stars for them. They are responsive and honest!!! Thanks guys for letting your Word be your bond. Thanks again!

Happy customer

They designed a system that is correctly sized for our home and lifestyle. Work was completed on time and staff is professional. Highly recommend.

My new Solar System

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!

My Home Solar Array

Jamar Power did a superb job and made sure I was very satisfied before signing off on the job. I have recommended Jamar to my friends and family.

Well crafted, methodical and forthright business transaction

We are so pleased with our system. Purchased a 4.4 KW system and is producing as advertised and guaranteed. After many considerations (8 quotes from 5 different companies) we were most satisfied with Jamar which boiled down to 3 points: 1. They listened to what we wanted, what we could budget and were creative in building the best system 2. All follow up correspondence once the project was underway was outstanding 3. The installer was meticulous, even to the point of painting the conduit on the side of the house the same color as the stucco --great attention to detail. We would recommend Jamar--they stand behind their installs, are a full services elecrical contractor, not just a solar company and honest.

Roof mount 4.8KW in Carlsbad

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.

Roof Mount Solar System - Jamul

Jamar Power Systems and SunPower Panels

I evaluated 6 different solar installers before selecting JPS last fall. I selected JPS because of expected SDG&E cost reduction and length of payback period, warranties by JPS and SunPower, JPS's rating by Solar Reviews, availability of remote monitoring system, and professionalism of JPS personnel. I was delightfully surprised by the quality and responsiveness of everyone I dealt with at JPS: Vince, Jim, Dan, Amy and Rick. The system looks and works as advertised.

Very Impressed

I hate writing reviews, but am making an exception for Jamar Power. Their price was very reasonable for the system they installed. The service was great - I was making solar electricity at least a month sooner than typical rooftop solar power installations. They were completely professional, and did excellent quality work.

Excellent design and installation of complex system

Jamar Power Systems designed and installed a complex solar with battery backup system at my home. All their people with whom I had contact, from owner to electrician, were a pleasure to interact with. The company has good depth of knowledge and skill. The negotiation of a contract was pleasant in that it was thoughtful, businesslike, and without any sales pressure. I wanted unusual and very particular customization. It took awhile to have a clear mutual understanding of what I wanted. The company had the patience to work with me in the design stages until the specification was precisely what I wanted in a custom design. Because of the complexity of my roof, we agree that I would hire a roofing contractor to prepare the roof for installation of solar. I also hired a general contractor to oversee everything including the roof contractor and painting by a painting contractor. While I was away, the installation was completed as specified. Upon my return, I was impressed by how neat the installation was. It was as though it had always been there. The work was completed at the contract price. The solar is now functioning as specified. As expected more electricity is produced in the longer days of summer. With the custom battery backup, one can turn off the switch to the SDG&E grid and not even see a light flicker inside the house. In the event of a SDG&E blackout, the house continues to be supplied with electricity from the battery backup which is then recharged by the solar panels. Part of the project included replacing light bulbs with LED bulbs to dramatically reduce power consumption. The completed system is friendlier to the environment and neighbors than having a noisy backup generator fueled by natural gas. Overall, this solar system is an incremental benefit to the environment, it provides electricity to run the refrigerator, gas furnaces, computer, a few lights, phones, etc. during power failures, and its economic return will continue to grow as the cost of electricity goes up.

Couldn't ask for more

When I first started looking for solar, I did a lot of research and got 5 quotes. The first one was 50% higher than Jamar. The others were $1,000 to $2,000 more. Jamar also had a much higher quality solar collector system. I needed only 14 panels rather than the 19 recommended by other installers who used cheaper Chinese made panels. I was going on vacation and wanted a "rush" job. Jim pushed everything through and my installation was completed before I left. I had fun tracking my solar production on my iPhone while away. The installers were very professional and answered all my many questions while they were working. I have recommended Jamar to several friends already. The system was installed 2 months ago and I am producing excess electricity which I'm sure I will use in September.

still waiting for purchase incentives

First Class company with excellent communication and quality work performed as scheduled. Lowest quote that I got for the system and I would definitely both recommend this company to others and use them again. Total turnkey operation. Contractor took care of everything except the consumer forms required by SDGE/CSI. They made it easy.

I have referred Jamar to others, including members of my family. I negotiated a 1 time lease payment.

My wife and I were very impressed with the attention to detail and professionalism of everyone in this company. They went above and beyond what we could ever expect. I have recommended them to members of our family and friends. Our solar system is performing at or beyond our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised at how much energy we have produced in spite of cloudy weather this past month. Thank you to Rick Follett, Clay and the crew. Respectfully submitted by another happy JMAR Power Systems customer.

The original panels we wanted couldn`t be manufactured in time, so Jim gave us another option so that we coudl get the installation done. Also, we had a planned vacation in December, and when we communicated that to Jim, he made sure that our installation took place before we left.

Excellent with Jamar, very pleased with JAMAR - BUT...SDG&E has been on going problem for calculations matching!

The esthetics of the installation were very important to me. I felt that they paid as much attention as they could to make it look as good as possible when they were done. They did everything that I asked them to, including painting the conduit to match the house. I`m very happy with the work that they did.
