#213 of 678 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does Kaar Electric compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Kaar Electric builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Communication & coordination

Communication7.6/10

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.4/10

Reviewers largely describe scheduling and installation as moving on time, including early arrivals, short install windows, and quick completion after permits. There are no material complaint patterns in the evidence set, so the section reads strongly positive overall.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-time arrival. One reviewer says the crew even arrived early for the scheduled service, which supports a reliable scheduling impression. Representative review excerpt: "I scheduled the service and the guys were great, even arriving early."

Fast completion. Several reviewers report quick turnaround times, including installs finished in less than two days or within a single day once the permit was approved. Representative review excerpt: "We installed a big system, but the install itself took less than two days (and we didn't even need to be home) and the app and website he provides to..."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.4/10

Post-install feedback is mostly positive, with reviewers saying the system performed as promised and that service issues were handled promptly. There is one complaint in the evidence set about a follow-up repair being left incomplete, so support appears generally good but not uniformly smooth.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong production. Reviewers say the system produces as promised and continues to operate well after installation. Representative review excerpt: "System produces exactly as promised."

Responsive troubleshooting. Customers report quick help with inverter issues and other post-install problems, including getting the system running again after a panel went down. Representative review excerpt: "He was able to assess our problem with our inverter and quickly resolved it!!"

Follow-up gap. One reviewer describes a post-service visit that was supposed to be followed up later, indicating a possible gap in completing aftercare. Representative review excerpt: "Carlos came out did some rewiring told us to have a CAT 5 cable ran to have a direct connect for our app and then he would come back to..."

Bottom line: KAAR ELECTRIC’s review profile is broadly positive, with especially strong feedback on workmanship, timeline reliability, and sales clarity. The most common complaints are limited and appear in communication and post-install support, while pricing and financing feedback is generally favorable and straightforward.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
