Smart Solar Electric Company

What this record tells you

Smart Solar Electric Company holds Florida licence CVC56836, 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 2010, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. That is 16 years of continuous licensure.

Smart Solar Electric Company is one of 9 active solar licences registered to an address in Gainesville, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 08/31/2026. 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.

• Confirm the name on your contract matches Smart Solar Electric Company or its qualifying agent, Aleksey Y Khokhlov.
• Compare at least three written quotes from other solar contractors in Gainesville.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
