What Gemini Energy Solutions does

Gemini Energy Solutions is a Black-owned, POC-led clean energy firm founded in 2016 by Anthony Kinslow II, PhD, CEM, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with a secondary office in Washington, DC. The company focuses on decarbonizing small commercial buildings (25,000 sq ft or less) and delivering clean energy solutions to municipalities, utilities, non-profits, small businesses, and historically marginalized communities. Its mission centers on making clean energy access equitable, with explicit emphasis on serving communities that face the highest climate risks and have historically been excluded from clean energy investment.

The company's product portfolio is built on three pillars. Conserve™ is a proprietary SaaS energy auditing platform, positioned as "AI-powered," that guides users through on-site building analysis and generates policy-compliant, investment-grade reports on carbon reduction, efficiency, and sustainability with projected costs and ROI, at approximately half the cost per square foot compared to competitors. Community Decarbonization Hubs integrate solar + storage, EV charging, and energy efficiency measures into revenue-generating microgrids that allow buildings to become net energy producers and sell surplus power back to the grid; disclosed project economics show $713K–$1.3M capital costs, 3–8 year simple payback, and $117K–$2.6M 15-year NPV. Decarbonization Consulting provides strategy, policy, and funding advisory services for campuses, cities, utilities, and community organizations.

Gemini makes money through a mix of recurring SaaS subscriptions (Conserve™), professional services fees (energy audits and consulting), and project-based revenue from microgrid implementations and EV charging. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (consultations and demos), a self-serve SaaS channel for smaller organizations, and a partnership-driven distribution model through faith-based, HBCU, and environmental justice organizations such as Green The Church, HBCU Green Fund, and The People Justice Council. The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional funding.

Broad incumbents

• ICF International: ICF delivers energy advisory, clean-energy strategy, and implementation support to governments, utilities, and NGOs globally. Comparable to Gemini's decarbonization consulting line in problem framing and buyer profile, but operating at enterprise scale.
• Willdan Group: Willdan provides energy efficiency, decarbonization planning, and program implementation services to utilities, municipalities, and small commercial customers. Comparable in serving the same buyer segments as Gemini's consulting and audit lines but as a much larger, publicly traded incumbent.
• GridPoint: GridPoint provides building energy management SaaS and intelligent HVAC controls to commercial and small-business customers. Comparable in using software to make energy data and efficiency recommendations actionable for small commercial buildings, though operating at much larger scale.
• Franklin Energy: Franklin Energy implements utility energy-efficiency programs, including small commercial audits, rebates, and retrofits, on behalf of utilities and municipalities. Comparable to Gemini's audit + implementation workflow and its municipal/utility customer base.

Direct peers

• BlocPower: BlocPower finances and executes building energy retrofits in underserved U.S. urban neighborhoods, combining SaaS-driven project analysis with community-focused deployment. It is the closest analogue to Gemini's combination of affordable energy audits and community decarbonization hubs.
• Sealed: Sealed runs a home energy audit and retrofit service with proprietary software that automates recommendations and project scoping. Comparable in pairing a SaaS-enabled audit experience with turnkey implementation and in targeting a previously underserved residential retrofit segment.
• Switch (formerly Clean Energy Collective): Switch develops community solar and community resilience projects, including resilience hubs with storage and EV charging. Comparable in its community-led approach to distributed renewable infrastructure and emphasis on financial participation by the community served.

Emerging players

• Uplight: Uplight provides energy SaaS for utility customer engagement, energy efficiency programs, and DER adoption, including for community-based initiatives. Comparable in selling energy SaaS into the utility-and-community segment where Gemini also competes via Conserve and decarbonization consulting.
• EnergySage: EnergySage operates a marketplace and educational platform that helps consumers and small businesses evaluate and adopt solar, storage, and EV charging. It is comparable to Conserve™ in delivering educational, decision-support software to non-expert buyers navigating building energy upgrades.

Regional players

• Reverdece: Reverdece is a Latin America-based decarbonization and energy-efficiency consultant serving commercial buildings and community-led clean-energy projects. Comparable in the community-decarbonization concept and C&I energy audit work, but operates in a different geography than Gemini.
