Jamar Power Systems

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

Good solid honest company!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 :
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.
