City of Deerfield Beach Selects Kaufman Lynn Construction for Solar Project

Sept. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Deerfield Beach, FL – On August 16th Kaufman Lynn Construction and its renewable energy division Kaufman Lynn Energy were awarded a contract to install a 14.9 KW Solar Photovoltaic System on the roof of the Deerfield Beach Public Works facility at SW 4th Street.  

The project is funded through an Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). All major components of the system are manufactured in the United States. In addition to reducing the City’s energy consumption and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the project will also create jobs for local engineers, electricians and roofers among others.

A solar monitoring system will display real time data on a monitor in a public area of the Public Works Facility, and will be used as a tool in the City’s efforts to promote energy efficiency and conservation to the general public through education and outreach.
Construction of the project is anticipated to start in November 2011 and be completed by the end of the year.  Kaufman Lynn Construction built the Public Works facility which was completed in September 2007.
