SOLAR CONTRACTOR LICENSE

Today’s emerging green economy is increasing the demand for solar contractors. Licensed solar contractors are hired for various jobs. Florida solar contractors are licensed to install, maintain, and repair solar pool heating systems, solar hot water systems, and photovoltaic systems in residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.

What are the requirements to obtain a Florida solar contractor license?

Florida requires aspiring contractors to have four years of experience (either in the field or through education, with at least one year in a supervisory role). In addition to the four years of experience, an aspiring contractor must pass the Florida Solar Contractors licensing exam.
