SOLAR CONTRACTOR LICENSE

Today’s emerging green economy means the demand for solar contractors is rising. In fact, licensed solar contractors are hired for a number of 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 become a Florida licensed contractor?

Florida requires aspiring contractors to have four years of experience (either in the field, or being taught with at least one year of experience in a supervisory role). In addition to the 4 years of experience, an aspiring contractor must pass the Florida Solar Contractors licensing exam.
