The Voltt scheme
Solar for your property with zero cost of buying it.
We're working with Voltt, a new type of energy supplier, who fund solar installations across the UK.
Voltt pays for solar panels and a battery to be fitted to your property, and owns and looks after the system for 25 years. In return, whoever pays the electricity bill buys the solar power it produces, at a lower rate than their energy supplier charges - up to 20% below the Ofgem energy cap.
Cheaper energy
Up to 20% below the price cap unit rate, with no standing charge.
Batteries included
Store daytime sunshine and use it in the evening.
25 year protection
Monitoring, maintenance, repairs and replacements, all by Voltt.
How it works
Going solar usually starts with a big bill. This doesn't. It's built on two simple agreements, signed at the same time.
The lease for the property owner
Lets Voltt install and run the system on your roof for 25 years. Voltt owns it and looks after it, including repairs and replacements.
The energy agreement for the bill payer
Whoever pays the electricity bill buys the solar power from Voltt, at a rate up to 20% below the Ofgem energy cap.
Voltt fund the installation
Your solar and battery are installed completely free of charge, with no hidden costs or nasty surprises.
Voltt track energy use
Using your smart meter, Voltt track the energy used in the property and bill your or your tenants accordingly
Voltt maintain throughout

Frequently asked questions
Is this a rent-a-roof scheme?
No. Rent-a-roof schemes were built around government Feed-in Tariff payments, which went to the installer rather than the homeowner. Here, the bill payer gets the benefit of the solar power at a lower rate than their supplier charges. You can still remortgage or sell, and you don’t need your lender’s permission to sign up.
Is it really free?
The system is. There’s nothing to pay for the panels, the battery, the installation or maintenance. The bill payer pays for the electricity the system generates: the solar power they use, at a lower rate than their supplier, and 8p a unit for anything exported.
Who owns the panels?
Voltt, for the full 25 years. That’s what makes them free to install.
What if I sell the property?
You have three options. Your buyer can take over the agreement, you can buy the system from Voltt, or you can have it removed for a fee.
Do I need to tell my mortgage lender?
No. Voltt doesn’t require you to get your lender’s permission.
What if my tenant moves out?
The next tenant can take over the PPA. While the property is empty, you cover the solar electricity it uses, just like any other energy bill.
Who do I contact if something goes wrong after installation?
Voltt. They monitor and maintain the system for the life of the lease.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. You have 14 days to cancel, starting from Voltt’s confirmation call after you sign.
