About the company

Voltacon UK Limited was established in 2001 by a team of electrical engineers. The group has over 25 years of experience in power electronics, electricity generation and distribution, and renewable energy. It operates through two specialist brands: Voltacon Solar and Ledison LED Lighting. Voltacon UK Limited is certified by the British Standards Institution to ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental standards, and its manufacturing plant holds the same certifications.

The lighting division, Ledison, was established in 2010. Voltacon Solar provides photovoltaic systems, inverters and energy storage for homes and businesses, and Ledison provides LED fittings for indoor and outdoor use, from retrofit lamps to specialised tubes built for the Royal Navy. The group's lighting is approved by the Royal Navy and the Ministry of Defence. Voltacon has installed over 200MW of photovoltaics worldwide and 15MW of off-grid systems.

Its engineers have academic backgrounds including doctoral and post graduate study. Voltacon works with local council, community and environmental groups. Its customers include Tesco, P&O Ferries, GKN, and Nisa. Voltacon Energy Systems partners with JA Solar. Voltacon's Renesola Photovoltaic Panels received MCS Certification. It offers energy storage in partnership with Hoppecke, including lithium packs and OPzS heavy duty lead acid.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Voltacon UK Limited supplies battery storage, inverters and LED lighting, and reviews cover a spread of projects including off-grid solar arrays, ballast fitting kits and emergency bulkhead lighting. Support stands out as a recurring strength: buyers setting up inverters, batteries and full off-grid systems describe quick, clear answers to configuration questions, with Andrei named for advice on an eleven-kilowatt installation, while another customer had a fresh inverter and storage tailored around panels already in place. Several accounts call the ordering process straightforward and delivery timely, with goods arriving as specified.

The hardware itself draws praise too, from an inverter that kept performing and LED bulbs with a vintage look to a mounting kit that held firm through strong winds without any drilling. Domestic lighting work recurs, including a whole house fitted out with LEDs and continuing solar and lighting projects. Less favourable accounts concern warranty claims, returns and refunds, which some customers found slow or contested. The overriding impression remains one of capable technical help and dependable products, with after-sales responses on certain orders proving less consistent.

Both easy to deal with either via phone or email. Ballast fitting kit installed. Had lots of high winds since fitting and they didn’t move. Very safe and secure without drilling holes.

Terrible experience! They sold me a product that did not perform as advertised. It was a complete hassle to return it, and now they are refusing to refund us. They are also bullying us with all sorts of false claims. Unbelievable company—it feels like it's run by a bunch of bullies and liars. Avoid them at all costs. We will take this as far as necessary; they won't get away with it.

I've spent quite a lot of money here, both back in 2021 and just recently, on lithium batteries. I think they (and many other electronics suppliers) got some rough / unfair reviews back in 2021/22, when it was like the wild west for solar and battery supplies, with the double hit of Russian gas price manipulation and short supply of electronics from China due to Covid. My batteries back then took a few of months to arrive and I did get a little nervous, but communications were good throughout and they eventually turned up from China and were promptly delivered. This time around, I ordered another of the same battery, still at the best price online (with delivery), and it arrived on a next day shipment as promised and was up and running straight away. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I purchased 360 LED emergency bulkheads from them back in 2019. They all started failing after 18 months. I was assured 5yr warranty on parts, including batteries, over the phone & stupidly didn’t get it in writing from them. The wholesaler I purchased the fittings through could not get in contact with anyone there. Numerous email, telephone calls to no avail. My business went under as a result of their lies & promises. The clue is in the title. Use at your own risk. To add to their reply at 10:45am 21/01/24, like I said, I ordered a huge amount of light fittings that were all delivered incorrectly as a standard fitting. They then sent 100 as a temporary measure whilst the rest of the fittings with microwave sensors were made in china & then shipped weeks later. I placed the order through a wholesaler. The information they have posted shows the sample version I purchased. If they were a decent enough outfit, their communication would have been much better post purchase. They did not honour their word & warranty. Like I said, my business folded & shut down as a result of their false promises. If you had made it easier to communicate, kept your promises, the review would be better. It’s not a fake review. You essentially ruined my business.

Bought my entire 11kw off grid system from voltacon bit by bit. I had many questions regarding the system and it's configuration, the support I got was amazing with replies to my queries coming back pretty instant. I do not think they sleep. At the moment I am running an 11kw voltacon inverter, 17x 400wsolar pannels and 3 pylontech batteries. We have been fully off grid for the last 3 weeks. Thank you Voltacon and Andrei for the good advice.

Has been a smooth hassle free process from start to finish. The team even designed my new inverter and battery storage around my existing panels. Fast response to any query I had, was delivered when they said it would be and is now up and running 10/10.
