What this record tells you

Solar First, Inc. holds Florida licence CVC57287, 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 2024, which makes it one of the newer licences for the trade in this area. That is 2 years of continuous licensure.

Solar First, Inc. is one of 10 active solar licences registered to an address in Fort Myers, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against. Richard D Vaske 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.
