Non-profit, Government, and Educational Installations

Dovetail and its partners offer a variety of financial arrangements to enable non-profits, government organizations and educational facilities to take advantage of the economic and environmental benefts of solar systems. The following are a small sample of solar electric systems that have been installed by Dovetail on non-profit, government and educational buildings. They show some of the types of systems and mounting options available.
A  portion of the 19.3 kW solar array at the Cincinnati Zoo's new Harold C. Schott Education Center. See our press release for additional information on this system.

It was built using 168 Evergreen Solar, Inc. 115 watt photovoltaic modules arranged in seven sections - each with 24 modules. The modules were flush mounted on the standing seam metal roof using S!5 clamps and Unirac aluminum rails.
