A Few Comments from Our Most Recent Clients
Looking for a company that takes pride in its work and delivers success? Look no further than Gemini Energy Solutions. Our clients have nothing but great things to say about us.
I had the opportunity and pleasure to work with [Dr. Anthony] Kinslow when he first launched Gemini Energy Solutions [on a] graduate school project at Stanford University. He is an intelligent and caring leader, who is driven by the cause of bringing clean energy solutions to under serviced communities.
- Ron Sadler
I have worked with almost all of the organizational partners and with Anthony through my work at Dream.org and the Green for All program. They are doing incredible work in underserved communities using culturally relevant strategies.
- Michelle Romero
[Dr. Kinslow] has worked as a consultant for various sustainability efforts with me for a local government agency in the San Francisco Bay Area and the solutions envisioned by his group are insightful and dynamic. These efforts have become the basis for meaningful improvements to an overall strategy to create a reduced energy use footprint that results from greater efficiencies and more effective resource renewal policies. Adding these dedicated people to any team would result in a more valuable and effective outcome.
- Damian Davis
[Their Clean Energy Hub initiative is] an excellent idea! Resiliency in energy is so important. Also, in line with the Biden/Harris executive order for clean energy.

Gemini Energy Solutions is innovating and leading a transformative program that hits at the core of climate action and equity: community. [Their] exemplary [Clean Energy Hub] model is scalable, accessible, and right on time!

Great vision. It makes me excited for the future of our planet.

I have known Anthony Kinslow for almost a decade and mentored him during his early doctorate years at Stanford. He is a born leader and the solutions he is providing through his company are unique and well designed, especially for the many communities that have been left out of clean energy efforts. I encourage [everyone to work with Gemini] and [learn more about their] Black Church Clean Energy Hub Program.

Interviewer
What does Gemini Energy Solutions do?
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions
What we do is we provide investment grade energy audits for the small commercial building (SCB) stock, and when I say investment grade, that means that you could take our energy audit report and get financing to upgrade your space due to our findings. We do this at ten percent (10%) of the cost that our standard energy audit companies do and our strategy is to work directly with the communities and hire and train local individuals to collect the data that is necessary to produce the energy audit report.
Interviewer:
Why did you start it?
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions
Because everybody was doing it the wrong way <laughter>. I see that diversity being critical to the business model. If you are going be providing a service, you need to be able to ride it to a wide range of individuals, and you cannot do that unless you have people in your company who identify with those individuals. And the second aspect was that none of them wanted to work with small commercial businesses, they did not want to work with churches, community centers, or small restaurants. They did not want to work with them because it was not profitable enough for them.
There is roughly five (5) million buildings that need to receive and energy audit and upgrade in the next decade. They cannot do that unless they have an energy audit. That translates to, I believe, 30,000 audits a month starting this month. Nationwide, we are at maybe 1,000 a month. I created this company to be able to make up that difference.
