Sunshine Solar Services

What this record tells you

Sunshine Solar Services holds Florida licence CVC57161, 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 2021, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 60% 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 5 years of continuous licensure.

Sunshine Solar Services is one of 2 active solar licences registered to an address in North Lauderdale, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Jay Lewis Chandler additionally holds 1 other active Florida licence in our records, which can indicate a contractor qualified across more than one trade or entity.

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