December 29, 2010—Fort Myers—Lee County is doing its part to create a more sustainable future for Southwest Florida residents. Cape Coral Solar Electric Company, Fafco Solar, announces completion of a project that harnesses the power of Florida's sunshine to produce energy at the Lee County Public Safety Building. With 236 roof mounted solar modules and 236 Enphase microinverters, this is the largest photovoltaic system at any Southwest FL government facility. The project was funded by the Department of Energy Grant, with no cost to local taxpayers, and used local management, engineering and labor.

"The Lee County Public Safety Building Solar Panel project is a great
example of federal stimulus dollars putting our highly qualified local labor force to work," said Jason Szumlanski, Fafco Solar Project Manager. "The successful completion of this project is a distinctive achievement for Fafco Solar that will create long lasting savings in electricity costs for the facility."

The solar energy system will be "grid interactive," which means that it is capable of selling excess electricity back to the electric grid. It also features real-time and time-lapse energy monitoring of each solar panel and inverter. This is the same type of solar electric technology that is used in residential applications, scaled for an industrial facility. In addition, an LCD monitor is installed in the lobby of the Safety Building, allowing visitors to view the performance of the solar panels.
