Solar Engineering Inc

What this record tells you

Solar Engineering Inc holds Florida licence CVC56789, 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 2009, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. That is 17 years of continuous licensure.

Solar Engineering Inc is one of 5 active solar 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.

• 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 Engineering Inc or its qualifying agent, Brian Hartley.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other solar contractors in St. Petersburg & Clearwater.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
