Jamar Power Systems

Jamar Power Systems runs as electricians out of Santee. They started serving San Diego County back in 1984 and stick to residential and commercial jobs that include solar power systems. In this part of Texas the hot weather and occasional storms mean plenty of calls for air conditioning hookups, generator installs, and making sure panels can handle the load without failing. Folks around Santee often need help with old wiring in homes or adding outlets for new equipment in shops and offices. The company takes on these projects with crews that know how to get in and out without leaving a mess behind.

They handle quotes for full residential electrical upgrades and commercial builds where bigger loads require new service panels or added circuits. Solar work covers roof mounts on existing houses plus battery backups that keep lights on when the grid drops. Crews also repair panels that lose output and wire new construction for home builders who want automation tied into the main system. In Santee the long sunny stretches make solar a practical step for cutting power costs, and the teams manage permits, grid ties, and final checks so the setup runs right from day one without callbacks on basic connections.

Homeowners and business owners note that the crews finish on schedule and keep costs in line with the scope of work. Feedback points to clear updates during jobs and results that hold up under heavy summer use. Quality shows in fewer repeat issues on wiring and solar arrays alike.

“Jamar Power Systems did an excellent job evaluating my solar needs, designing the system, dealing with permits, and installing it. We were under a bit of a crunch given that the federal tax credit was going to end at the end of 2026, but Jamar got it done with 2 weeks to spare. The folks at Jamar were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I'm very happy with my solar system. I highly recommend Jamar”

“I found Phil and Jamar Power Systems when I was looking for someone to install a PointGuard Energy system at my home. I’m so glad! They did an outstanding job installing 2 Pointguard batteries and the V2X bidirectional charger as well as 10 more solar panels. I already had an existing solar system and wasn’t happy with the previous company I used, so meeting the team at JPS was superb- they did an amazing job installing in a professional and timely manner. The whole team was friendly and accommodating so I got exactly what I wanted at the end of the day. Phil is a great guy and a vet as well, so I felt good about using a local and veteran owned business. I recommend them to everyone and appreciate that they’re not just another fleeting solar company but a full service electrical company. Thanks to the whole team!”

“Jamar Power Systems truly puts the customer first — I can't recommend them enough for their knowledgeable team and ethical business practices. After SunPower's bankruptcy left us with a malfunctioning solar system and no warranty support, every other company I contacted pushed for a full $40k+ replacement that would've torn up our roof in the process. Jamar was the only one who stepped up to diagnose the real issue, replace the faulty components, and get our system running smoothly again — at a fraction of the cost. A 2-year ordeal has finally come to a happy ending. If you need honest, expert service, Jamar is the way to go!”

“Previously installed my solar panels, which have been working flawlessly for years. Time to install batteries. Knowledgable staff helped me pick out the right configuration with ease. Installation was seamless and Jamar worked out a couple kinks quickly and efficiently. Thanks for all your attention to detail. Erich”

“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.”
