Alternate Energy Company

What this record tells you

Alternate Energy Company holds Florida licence CVC56946, 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 2013, which makes it a long-held licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 27% of the 48 active solar licences based in the Fort Lauderdale area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2017. That is 13 years of continuous licensure.

Alternate Energy Company is one of 10 active solar licences registered to an address in Fort Lauderdale, 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.

• Compare at least three written quotes from other solar contractors in Fort Lauderdale.
• Confirm in writing that the contractor — not you — pulls the building permit.
