You pay a fixed price per month, with nothing down. If something breaks, that is our problem.
there is always something to think about at home. looking after the house's power and heat does not have to be miserable.
Electricity ought to be boring
Somewhere along the way the electricity market turned something very basic into a full-time job, for people who only want to make coffee, have a warm house in winter and know roughly what it will cost
You were only going to live here
You bought the house for the garden, the quiet and maybe one more bedroom. With Elvy you can quit your second job as an energy analyst. We fit your house with the whole thing, so you get hot water in the tap, 22 degrees indoors all year and electricity for the household.
That is why Elvy exists
We install solar panels, a heat pump and a battery. You get a fixed monthly price for 15 years, so the energy at home can go to other things. The closest you get to maintenance is forgetting it is there.

When Elvy is right for you
you've got other things to do than track electricity prices and fault alarms
Already have equipment?
Already got solar panels, a heat pump or a battery? Let us take a look at whether we can bring what you own into the subscription. Sometimes it fits as-is, sometimes something needs to be updated.
Our solution
the energy subscription
This is included in the energy subscription New hardware with no upfront cost
- Heat pump
Heat and hot water all year round, for a fraction of what direct electric heating costs. It draws warmth from the air or the ground and carries it in, so you get more heat out than the power you put in. A warm house even at the coldest, without the bill climbing to match.
- Solar panels
The roof turns daylight into electricity you use right away. What you produce yourself, you don't buy, and it shows up most on the bill when it's light out. Anything left over we sell on, so a sunny day works for you even when you're at work.
- Battery
It stores electricity until you need it. When the sun gives more than you use, or when the price is low at night, the battery fills up. Then you use that power in the expensive evening hours, instead of buying when everyone else does.
- Installation
We take the whole installation, from design to commissioning and registration with the grid. You skip the quotes and the tradespeople who cancel the day before. We book it, do the job and hand over a system that's already approved and running. You don't lift a finger.
- Service
We look over and fine-tune the system at regular intervals, so it keeps performing. We catch wear and small deviations before they cost you anything. Most of the time you won't even notice we've been there.
- Operation & monitoring
We keep watch around the clock, all year. If something starts behaving oddly we usually spot it before you do, and fix it before it becomes a problem. Your energy should just be running, without you giving it a thought.
- Smart energy optimisation
The system makes the decisions you'd otherwise make yourself. It reads the electricity price and the weather and works out when your power does the most good, now or later. You get the most out of every kilowatt-hour, without sitting up watching the spot price at three in the morning.
It all fits together
no heat pump without solar panels and a battery. the three make each other efficient.
We only sell them together, at a fixed price with nothing upfront, and make our money keeping the system tuned year after year.
What our 1000+ customers say
How your price is set An energy analysis, not a price list
We don't set a list price, it would just be a guess. Instead our energy analysis builds a picture of your specific house and works out the system it needs. Five things weigh heaviest, and a sixth can come into it.
- House size
The more space to heat, the bigger the system. Size decides which heat pump fits and how much solar and battery you need.
- House location
Climate and electricity prices vary depending on where in the country you live, which affects both the size of the system and what you save. A house in Norrland needs more heat than one in Skåne.
- Current heating
What you heat with today drives how much you can save. The step from direct electric heating is bigger than the step from a newer heat pump.
- Roof and sun
Your roof's size, pitch and orientation decide how much electricity it can produce. A clear south-facing roof does more than a shaded north-facing one.
- Your consumption
How much electricity you use, and when, sets the size of your household-electricity allowance. Your past usage is the starting point.
- If several of you are in the area
Only applies if there are several of you. When several houses in the same area are installed at once the work is coordinated, and that saving can go back into the price for all of you.
the more houses in the area, the better the price we can work out. worth mentioning to your neighbour.
The price is set individually; a general price list would just be a guess. Your monthly cost is based on our energy analysis of your specific house.
It can be. When several houses in the same area are installed at once we plan one job instead of many separate ones, and that saving can go back into the price. Every house still gets its own energy analysis and its own price, and there is no minimum number.
The biggest benefit is that you avoid a large, expensive investment. Putting together an energy package yourself is costly and messy, with quotes to compare from several suppliers. You also avoid swinging electricity bills, and we handle service and maintenance. You get a fixed, favourable monthly price, with fossil-free heat and your own solar power.
The products are financed through operational leasing. We pay the leasing cost, and it's included in your monthly price. You don't tie up capital or take out a loan.
If the household-electricity allowance runs out, you pay cost price for whatever goes over. In other words, we pass the electricity on with no markup.
No, the grid fee isn't included; you'll keep getting an invoice from your grid owner. The variable part drops considerably with our solution, though, since we install a heat pump, solar panels and a battery.
Yes, once a year the monthly price is adjusted by the consumer price index (CPI). In between it stays put, and it never swings with the spot price or the weather.

Energy subscription for a group of neighbouring homes
Yes, a group of neighbouring homeowners can get an energy subscription together. Installing several homes at once is more efficient and can lower the price.

How to raise the energy question with your neighbours
Doing this together means somebody has to ask around first. What you can say, what you do not have to promise, and what happens if a neighbour says no.
On electricity prices What drives your bill
- Electricity prices
What is a power tariff and how does it affect your bill?
A power tariff is part of your grid fee that charges you for your highest power peak, not just the kilowatt-hours you use. A home battery can shave the peaks.
- Electricity prices
What is a spot price and how is it set?
The spot price is electricity's market price hour by hour, set on the Nord Pool exchange. Every afternoon, tomorrow's 24 prices are set by supply and demand.
- Electricity prices
Electricity areas SE1-SE4: which one am I in, and why?
An electricity area is one of Sweden's four price regions, SE1-SE4. The south usually pays more than the north, because it uses most where it makes least.
- Electricity prices
What is normal electricity use for a villa?
Normal yearly electricity use for a villa usually lands between 10,000 and 25,000 kilowatt-hours. Where you end up is decided mostly by how you heat the house.
