Dovetail features Abundant Renewable Energy and Southwest Windpower wind turbines which provide clean, quiet, reliable energy. These are the best machine we have found for the low to moderate wind speeds that are commonly found throughout Ohio and the Midwest.

Although not described here, we also install turbines from other wind manufacturers including: Bergey, Kestrel, Entegrity, EOLTEC, and Jacobs.

If you have a potential wind site (annual average wind speed over 11 mph), you may want to consider this resource. Many Midwest sites have seasonably strong winds (especially during the winter) that favor a hybrid system combing wind power with solar PV to achieve more consistent year-round generation. Solar PV's higher summer output picks up just about the time that wind speeds begin to drop off during warmer months.

Dovetail offers small to medium sized turbines (<1-50 kW output) with capabilities ranging from charging a small battery bank to powering a farm, school or business. These turbines have good output at speeds of 12 mph and reach full output at 22-28 mph. They are usually mounted on 80 to120 ft. guyed or free standing towers. Wind speeds average 50-60% higher at 100 feet (30 meters) compared to ground level, translating to over 300% more power output. Therefore the saying: “the taller the tower the greater the power.”

Direct grid-tied (battery free) systems typically cost less and have higher efficiencies. However, if back-up is important, a battery bank can be provided to keep on standby while excess power is available for use with net metering.

Hybrid Systems
Residential wind systems are often designed as wind/solar hybrids for consistent year round production. Wind picks up during winter months while solar shines best during summer months.
