An Architect's Approach to Energy

Hello, I'm Peter Marshall, the Technical Founder of Volta Eco Systems.

For over 35 years, my career has been rooted in the world of architecture, leading complex, large-scale projects both in the UK and internationally. This path has been underpinned by a rigorous academic and professional foundation, including qualifications in Construction, a First Class Honours degree, and postgraduate studies at The Bartlett and UCL. As a registered and chartered architect with both the ARB and RIBA, my focus has always been on designing systems that are not only functional but are fundamentally safe, robust, and built to last for decades.

It was this architectural mindset-this principle of creating enduring, reliable structures-that I brought to the energy sector when co-founding Volta Eco Systems. I saw that for too long, home energy solutions were treated as simple add-ons. We founded Volta on a different belief: that a home battery system should be an integral, transformative part of your property, engineered with the same precision and care as the building itself.

Our mission is to empower UK homes and businesses to achieve true energy independence and save money, 24/7, all year round. We don't just want to sell you a product; we want to provide a complete, professionally engineered solution that gives you control.

The benefit of choosing Volta lies in this very approach. We design systems like our PowerPod specifically for the unique challenges of the UK climate, ensuring they perform reliably through every season. Our intelligent software works tirelessly in the background, automatically taking advantage of cheap, off-peak electricity to cut your energy bills by up to 70%. This isn't just about saving money today; it's about providing long-term financial security and peace of mind for your family, shielding you from volatile energy prices and an unreliable grid.

Ultimately, my role is to ensure that the technical promise of our systems is always met. Whether I'm writing a case study on the commercial benefits of our technology or overseeing its development, my commitment is to apply the discipline of architecture to the science of energy storage. The result is a safe, reliable, and intelligent system that you can depend on for years to come.
