Gecko AI

Gecko AI helps solar-powered homes save time, money, and carbon. Founded by two experts in renewable energy and adtech, the app connects with existing solar systems to optimise battery use, export timing, and tariff selection. Early adopters are already saving hundreds of pounds each year, with the potential to earn from surplus energy too. Gecko also supports installers and partners by improving customer value and performance. It’s a smarter way to power homes and accelerate the clean energy transition.

Gecko AI is a smart energy assistant that helps households with solar power get the most from their systems. Founded by Paul and Ben, the platform tackles the complexity of solar tariffs, battery storage, and energy usage with a simple, powerful optimisation tool. Users can save time, reduce bills, and in many cases even earn money from surplus energy.

Born out of real frustration with post-installation confusion, Gecko helps automate and fine-tune decisions around tariffs, export timing, battery use, and energy storage. The app connects with existing solar PV systems and works with both new and legacy installs.

Gecko is not just for consumers. Installers and commercial partners benefit from better customer outcomes, increased lifetime value, and system upgrade insights. With regulation and energy prices pushing demand, Gecko is designed to support the UK’s transition to a more affordable, intelligent, and sustainable energy future.
