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.
