Solar Engineering, Inc.

What this record tells you

Solar Engineering, Inc. holds Florida licence CCC1332556, a CCC classification which authorises work as a certified/registered roofing contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2020, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 47% of the 397 active roofing licences based in the St. Petersburg & Clearwater area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2020. That is 6 years of continuous licensure.

Solar Engineering, Inc. is one of 92 active roofing licences registered to an address in St Petersburg, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Brian Hartley additionally holds 4 other active Florida licences in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
