Enter the license number below to see its status, expiration date, Certified-vs-Registered tier, the license holder, and whether it's suspended, on probation, inactive, or expired — checked against Florida DBPR data.

Verifying a Florida Solar Contractor license — FAQ
- How do I verify a Florida Solar Contractor's license?
- Enter the contractor's license number into the tool above. A Certified Solar Contractor license begins with CVC. SubShield checks the number against Florida DBPR license data and returns the status, expiration date, Certified vs. Registered tier, the license holder, and whether the license is suspended, on probation, inactive, or expired. It is free and needs no account.
- What does a CVC license cover in Florida?
- A CVC license is a Certified Solar Contractor license. It covers solar energy systems, including solar water heating and photovoltaics. Certified licenses are valid statewide; a county-Registered version of the same trade is valid only in the local jurisdiction that issued it, so confirm the tier matches where the work is happening.
- Is a Florida Solar Contractor license valid statewide?
- A Certified (CVC) Solar Contractor license is valid anywhere in Florida. A Registered Solar Contractor is licensed only in the specific county or municipality where they registered their local competency, so a Registered license that looks valid may still not cover your project's jurisdiction.
- What status should a Solar Contractor's license show before they start work?
- Look for an active, current status with a future expiration date. Statuses such as Inactive, Delinquent, Null and Void, Suspended, or Expired mean the contractor is not presently authorized to perform licensed solar contractor work — don't let them on site until DBPR shows the license current.
