WHAT WE DO
Volta is a San Francisco Bay Area based clean energy company that provides solar services to commercial customers in West Africa, starting with Ghana. Our systems generate reliable and affordable electricity to hospitals, farms, schools, businesses, and more.
We offer flexible financing to make solar technology accessible to those who are currently overspending on their monthly energy bills. We are able to offer energy at savings between 30-55%. Having access to solar electricity allows our customers to generate additional income, grow their businesses, and offset thousands of liters of diesel fuel.
