The new energy tax incentives for Florida means that many contractors are interested in getting certified as a Solar Contractor in Florida.

The best training for this is at the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) :

Installing Photovoltaic System is an intensive week-long course targeted toward contractors, journeymen, and practitioners who install grid-connected PV systems. In 2001, FSEC received accreditation for this course offering from the Institute for Sustainable Power. Over two hundred individuals have attended this hands-on oriented program since 1999.

 This class qualifies for continuing education requirements for contractors in Floridia.

The FSEC also certifies equipment so that it qualifies for various state incentives.

 The actual license is from the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation, Construction Industry Licensing Board .

 Both solar and solar water heating are under division 2.

The tests are administered by Professional Testing, Inc. The state recommends you apply directly to Professional Testing for to schedule the test.  However, I'd recommend checking the FSEC site and the state site first.
