Gemini Project

What Gemini Project does

Gemini Project is a renewable energy and sustainable building solutions company founded in 1988 and headquartered in Bra, with its legal registered office in Alba, both in the Cuneo province of Piedmont, Italy. The company delivers turnkey renewable energy systems spanning photovoltaic solar, heat pumps, building automation, and energy storage, executing each project through a documented six-phase methodology that runs from initial survey through post-sale maintenance. It serves four distinct customer segments — private individuals, the tertiary sector, industrial clients, and wineries — with a particularly deep specialization in the wine industry dating back more than 15 years and a referenceable winery customer in Cantina Poderi Einaudi.

The offering includes the Casa Attiva (Active House) sub-brand targeting energy communities, the Bee Green Conservoltaico initiative integrating ground-mounted solar parks with biodiversity preservation, and an Operational Leasing (Noleggio Operativo) financing structure that lowers the upfront capital barrier for customers. In 2024 the company installed its first cogeneration plant and delivered an industrial site reaching 90% energy autonomy, signaling expansion of the technology stack into combined heat and power. The firm operates without resellers or intermediaries, providing direct engagement from a multidisciplinary in-house team covering geology, surveying, engineering, and legal/administrative functions.

Gemini Project is structured as an Italian società a responsabilità limitata (s.r.l. — private limited company) and remains owned by the founding twin brothers Aldo Maria and Giancarlo Scarzello. With 11-50 employees and 35+ years of operating history, it is a founder-owned regional specialist that has grown organically through project-based revenue without institutional funding. Its expertise in navigating Italian incentive frameworks including Conto Termico, PNRR, and regional grants is a material component of its customer value proposition and shapes the economics of every project delivered.

Revenue model

1. Design, Installation & Commissioning of Energy Systems: Project-based revenue from the design and installation of turnkey energy systems including photovoltaic arrays, heat pumps, building automation, electrical systems, fire safety, compressed air, cogeneration, and water management. Revenue is recognized at project completion, typical in the building/construction industry. The company also offers pre-authorized ground-mounted PV installations for sale ('investimento sicuro in Piemonte').
2. Operational Leasing (Noleggio Operativo): Equipment leasing model allowing customers to access PV and other systems without upfront purchase, paying a fixed periodic fee that includes maintenance and services. This provides recurring revenue visibility and lowers the entry barrier for SMB and industrial customers.
3. Post-Sale Technical Assistance & Maintenance: Ongoing technical support, periodic maintenance visits, thermographic inspections, panel cleaning, and remote monitoring services delivered throughout the operational life of installed systems. Revenue recognized as services are rendered or under service contracts.
4. Bureaucratic & Administrative Assistance: Fee-based management of permit applications, incentive/fiscal credit filings, GSE (Gestore dei Servizi Energetici) submissions, and regulatory compliance documentation for customers investing in energy systems. Integrated within the turnkey service package.

Broad incumbents

• Tesla Energy: Tesla's energy division offers integrated residential and commercial solar PV, Powerwall storage, and energy management systems with turnkey installation. Comparable to Gemini's Casa Attiva / Active House concept combining PV, storage, and smart management, but operating globally with a strong direct-to-consumer brand and far greater scale.
• A2A: Italian multi-utility serving residential, business, and public-sector customers across northern Italy with electricity, gas, heat, and increasingly integrated renewable/EPC services. Comparable to Gemini in PV, heating, and energy efficiency for the same northern-Italian customer base, but with significantly larger resources and a broader utility portfolio.
• Sonnedix: Global independent solar power producer with a substantial portfolio of operating and development-stage PV assets across Europe, including Italy. Comparable to Gemini Project in solar PV development and ground-mounted installations (e.g., Conserovoltaico-like concepts), but operates as a large-scale IPP rather than a regional turnkey EPC.
• Edison: One of Italy's largest integrated energy companies with growing renewable energy, energy efficiency, and heat pump service offerings for residential and business customers. Comparable to Gemini Project in PV installation, HVAC and integrated energy solutions, but operating at national scale as a broad incumbent utility.
• Enel Green Power: Enel's renewable energy subsidiary and one of the largest utility-scale solar/renewable developers globally, with significant Italian operational footprint. Overlaps with Gemini Project in PV installation, energy storage, and turnkey renewable services, but operates at much larger scale and across geographies as a broad incumbent.
• Plenitude (Eni): Eni's energy transition and retail subsidiary offering renewable energy solutions, EV charging, and energy efficiency services to Italian households and businesses. Comparable to Gemini in serving residential and SMB customers with PV, storage, and efficiency offerings, but with far greater scale, capital base, and nationwide coverage.

Direct peers

• SunPower: U.S.-headquartered residential and commercial solar PV installer offering integrated panel, inverter, and storage solutions with direct-to-consumer sales. Comparable to Gemini Project in residential/tertiary PV and storage turnkey offerings, though operating at greater scale and with a different geographic footprint (no meaningful Italian market share).
• SolarEdge: Israeli-headquartered global supplier of PV optimizers, inverters, and integrated solar + storage solutions widely deployed in Italian residential and commercial PV systems. Comparable to Gemini as a critical technology component in the same PV and storage projects Gemini installs, though SolarEdge is upstream as a hardware vendor rather than a regional EPC.
• SMA Solar Technology: German-headquartered global leader in PV inverters and energy management solutions for residential, commercial, and utility-scale solar. Comparable to Gemini Project as a key technology partner in PV and storage systems, though SMA operates upstream as an inverter/component manufacturer while Gemini integrates downstream as the turnkey installer.

Others

• Schneider Electric: Global specialist in electrical equipment, building automation, and energy management solutions serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers. Comparable to Gemini's Building Automation and electrical systems product line, with overlapping exposure to energy efficiency demand, but positioned as a global component/systems supplier rather than a regional turnkey EPC.
