Design-led energy for the built environment.

Volt exists to integrate renewable energy into architecture without compromising design, performance, or longevity, anywhere in the world.

Founded by energy professionals. Built for a global transition.

The transition to renewable energy is accelerating, yet many systems still demand compromise on architecture, longevity, or how buildings are meant to function. Volt was created to challenge that trade-off.

From the outset, we have focused on integration rather than add-ons. Energy systems are considered alongside structure, materials, and form, not applied after design decisions are made. Shaped by experience in demanding solar environments, our approach is grounded in durability and long-term performance. Design must serve performance, and performance must endure.

Volt exists to integrate renewable energy into buildings in a way that respects architecture and stands up to real-world conditions wherever those buildings are.

Principles that prioritise long-term thinking over short-term gain.

Design integrity
Energy systems should respect architecture, materials, and place. If it detracts from the building, it is not finished.
Performance that endures
Volt systems are designed for longevity. Durability, serviceability, and real-world performance matter more than peak figures on paper.
Integration over add-ons
We design energy as part of the building system itself, not as an attachment applied after the fact.
Responsibility at scale
The energy transition requires systems that can be delivered, supported, and trusted over decades.

Volt is backed by deep experience in energy delivery, system design, and long-term infrastructure thinking. The company was founded by professionals who understand what it takes to design, build, and maintain energy systems beyond early adoption.

This experience shapes how Volt operates. Decisions are made with an understanding of lifecycle performance, regulatory environments, and the realities of construction and installation.

Volt is supported by the Leeson Group, bringing decades of experience across renewable energy, development, and large-scale project delivery. This foundation allows Volt to focus on systems that are technically sound, commercially viable, and built to last.

Peter Leeson

Founder and CEO

With a background spanning renewable energy, development, and infrastructure-led projects, Peter brings a long-term perspective to how energy systems are designed and delivered. His focus is on creating solutions that perform in the real world and scale responsibly as demand for integrated renewable energy grows.
