Solar Specialist Inc.

What this record tells you

Solar Specialist Inc. holds Florida licence CVC56715, a CVC classification which authorises work as a certified solar contractor. A "C" prefix means the licence is certified — valid anywhere in Florida.

This licence was first issued in 2008, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 0% of the 30 active solar licences based in the Tampa area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2015. That is 18 years of continuous licensure.

Solar Specialist Inc. is one of 2 active solar licences registered to an address in Riverview, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

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.

Before you hire Solar Specialist Inc.

• Re-check licence CVC56715 on the DBPR portal — status can change any day.
• Ask for a current certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation, issued to you directly by their insurer.
• Confirm the name on your contract matches Solar Specialist Inc. or its qualifying agent, Christopher Ryan Greene.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other solar contractors in Tampa.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
