Volt Named Semi-Finalist in Two Prestigious National Awards

Volt Solar Tile has been recognised as a semi-finalist in two of Australia’s most respected innovation programs:

  • Australian Technologies Competition 2025

  • AFR BOSS Most Innovative Companies – Energy & Climate Awards

Both awards celebrate high-impact companies solving critical challenges across technology, sustainability, and the built environment. Volt’s inclusion reflects its continued commitment to advancing rooftop solar—through precision engineering, performance-led design, and global scalability.

Reimagining Solar from the Roof Up

Volt was founded in Melbourne with a clear purpose: to design a solar solution that integrates seamlessly with the architecture of the home. Traditional panels often dominate the roofline and disrupt the visual harmony of a building. For many homeowners, architects, and developers, that compromise has been a barrier to solar adoption.

Volt removes that barrier by offering a system that aligns with the intent of the roof—not in opposition to it. The result is a solar tile that sits flush with standard roof profiles, matching their form while delivering market-leading efficiency.

Today, Volt is installed across Australia, Europe, and Asia, and available in 82 countries worldwide.

Designed for Performance, Engineered for Simplicity

At the core of Volt’s innovation is a commitment to engineering solutions that meet both design expectations and installation realities. The tile’s patent-pending interlocking system, universal bracket compatibility, and integrated cable containment reduce installation time and complexity—making it easier to adopt at scale without compromising quality.

This combination of visual integration, efficiency, and ease of use has made Volt the world’s most efficient solar tile by cost-per-watt, and a preferred solution for forward-thinking developers and builders.

Why this Recognition Matters

Being shortlisted for both the Australian Technologies Competition and AFR’s Energy & Climate Awards validates the belief that solar can—and should—be more than functional. It should work with architecture, not against it. It should be scalable, without being generic. And it should be accessible, without losing precision.

These awards acknowledge the work of the Volt team and its partners around the world who continue to support a more thoughtful, design-led transition to clean energy.
