Established in 1995, Dovetail is one of the oldest and largest renewable energy firms in Ohio. We are one of the few that provide all three major technologies: solar electric, solar thermal and wind.

We have completed over 130 system installations across all regions of the state. Our employees are experienced implementing net metering and off-grid systems, and interfacing with all the major utility companies.

Dovetail has four Ohio locations to support our clients. Our Northern Ohio office is located in Chagrin Falls just east of Cleveland. Our Southeastern Ohio office and Corporate headquarters is located in Athens. Our Southwestern Ohio office is located in Cincinnati, and our Central Ohio office is located in Bexley, a suburb of Columbus. We install and service all of Ohio, northern Kentucky, eastern Indiana, western Pennsylvania, southern Michigan, and the northern half of West Virginia.

Dovetail is customer focused and mission minded, not money driven. Honesty, integrity, and environmental stewardship are at the core of our business. We design your system to be clean, safe, low maintenance and durable. We utilize high quality components from suppliers that have both a proven track record of performance, and a commitment to support what they sell so that your system will work properly and reliably for many years.

We adhere to sustainable business practices, and consciously buy most of our components from USA manufacturers.

We also offer power for remote and sustainable events with our mobile solar trailer.
