Jamar Power Systems review

Positive reviews:

“I had a great experience with Jamar PS. Philip was very responsive via the EnergySage portal. He explained the options and advantages of their systems in a very comprehensive way. The solar installation was performed in just 2 days, and they took care of all the interactions with SDGE. The service was very professional, and I highly recommend them.” – dbrignoni ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ March 5, 2021

“Not only is my new system firing on all cylinders,the professionalism, knowledge and communication from Jamar has also exceeded my wildest expectations. They’re that rare company that treats you with empathy. I continue to receive regular emails updating me on the system function and just making sure everything is ok. How can you get any better than that????? Thank you for giving me one less thing to worry about. You guys are the BEST!!!!!” – pacinomichael32 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ April 19, 2021

“Absolutely awesome! Our solar went up so fast, half the time it took our friends to get theirs. We are super happy that we chose Jamar power thanks guys! Will be using them again soon to do some upgraded to our old house” – Antonio1 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ February 26, 2019

“I had a fantastic experience with Jamar Power Systems. Jamar was the ONLY solar installer contractor that I received an estimate from that took the time to get a detailed estimate together and personally review with me every item suggested. Vince thoroughly reviewed their estimate with me and made sure to answer every question that we had regarding our solar installation, products that he proposed for use, and installation and product warranty. Prior to contracting with Jamar, Vince made sure that we were fully educated about solar power and the types of products and installation that were recommended for us based on our property type and location.” – jaimerika ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ May 23, 2017

Negative reviews:

“Contacted Philip Altiche at Jamar Power Systems for a simple improvement to my existing solar system. The initial response was good, went downhill from there,, never running out of excuses and asking questions normally one would be asking an electrician.In response to Philip E. response…. what I have been asking very specifically is for an installation of a 220v outlet. Maybe, the fact that I do have solar is confusing. And maybe the fact that I am expecting delivery of an EV is confusing. Maybe I am talking too much. Just tell me and I have provided 5x the details with pictures what a 220v outlet addition in my garage will cost.” – Mauro D. ⭐☆☆☆☆ September 16, 2025

“Jamar Power Systems was an amazing company to work for. It is a small electrical contractor that is owned by a veteran. They allow open thinking and allow you to make changes where there are improvements.” – Warehouse Manager ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ January 28, 2019

“Fun learning about residential construction. able to lern about common household electrical items and how they are installed. Learn about the NEC and how it is applied. Get to go all over San Diego county and see new developments and work at them.” – Electrician Trainee ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ September 17, 2018

Negative reviews:

“field supervision sucks and most of lead means think they know everything and think the rest of people are dumb if they don’t like the way you look on the first day they wont teach you anything” – Electrical trainee ⭐☆☆☆☆ September 24, 2018

“Poor Leadership, Does not take care of employees. Management does not go out of their way to look after their team members. They do not work to keep good people on their staff. They insist on temp workers, lots of turnover and attempt to work people at ‘per piece’ rates to make up for very low bids they are offering on their contracts.” – Electrician ⭐☆☆☆☆ January 2, 2019

Positive reviews:

“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 lathers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ February 2026

“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!” – Adam Valsler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ August 2025

Negative reviews:

“Jamar Power Systems is listed on the Tesla website as recommended electricians in my area. I called to get a quote to install a power drop in my garage for the EV I’m getting. Rob the electrician came out and didn’t seem to know what he was doing. Kept asking me how much power I needed. I told him what I’m getting and he still didn’t know. So I googled and told him. That should have been my first red flag.He said the quote would arrive within 2 days. 11 days later I had still not received it. Second red flag.I called the office multiple times, and now one seemed too concerned about the fact that Rob hadn’t delivered the promised estimate. Third red flag. Finally, after I got noticeably upset, someone called him and told him to stop work and send my quote. I got it that day, but still don’t know what took 11 days. It was a basic handwritten quote a couple of sentences with nothing more than what we discussed and a price that was at least $1500 above the other quotes I’d received.Needless to say, I will not be using this electrician and will be contacting Tesla to recommend removing Jamar Power Systems from the list of recommended electricians.” – Solange Jacobs ⭐☆☆☆☆ 2023

“Great work and fast booking. I just was expecting $100/hr labor as quoted, but was surprised at the invoice. It was unclear they were charging $100 per hour for two people and included driving time for each. I was expecting 1.25 hours for labor but was charged for 5hrs. They did reduce to $80/hr.” – Mike McNally ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 2021
