About JennSolar

Kevin Jennings

Inventor & Founder

Kevin Jennings has been a builder in New York City for 30 years, involved in hundreds of construction projects for the largest builders in a very difficult construction environment. For the past 15 years he has run his own construction consulting business, specializing in planning, scheduling and logistics. His interest turned toward renewable energy 10 years ago when he realized the vital need to accelerate the world’s energy transition from fossil fuels. He invented a variation of the parabolic trough called the “Ringtrough” and now holds fully granted patents in the U.S., South Africa and Australia.  The JennSolar team will now turn his invention into the world’s innovation.
