Our History
Hardy Kuenzl immigrated from Germany in 1981. After living off grid for many years, designing and installing many PV systems, and obtaining his electrical contractors license, he founded Gaia Energy Systems in 1994.
When Hardy and Kate Collins married, Kate added her expertise in business management and finance to the business, becoming a partner in 2003.
As a team they have built Gaia Energy Systems into the full service solar company that it is today, serving all of northern California, with expertise in all aspects of on-grid and off-grid residential and commercial solar design and installation.
