Credence Energy Corporation

What this record tells you

Credence Energy Corporation holds Florida licence CVC57207, 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 2022, which makes it a relatively recent licence for the trade in this area. That is 4 years of continuous licensure.

This is the only active solar licence registered to an address in Tarpon Springs in the current DBPR extract — worth widening your search to the surrounding St. Petersburg & Clearwater area when collecting comparison quotes.

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.

Before you hire Credence Energy Corporation

• Re-check licence CVC57207 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 Credence Energy Corporation or its qualifying agent, Shane Thomas Ellis.
• 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.
