About Elvy

What does Elvy cost per month? The house, not a price list

Elvy has no list price. Your monthly fee is set from an energy analysis of the house, fixed for 15 years, adjusted only by CPI, never by the spot price.

Elvy has no list price, and that's deliberate. What you pay a month is set individually from an energy analysis of your particular house, not read off a table. The amount is fixed for 15 years, adjusted only by the consumer price index, and never moves with the spot price. No upfront cost, no loan. What it comes to for your house is what the analysis answers.

Why there is no list price, what makes two houses land on different figures, whether the amount stays put or changes, how the green-tech deduction and selling your surplus fit in, and how you find out what it comes to for your house. We go through it below.

Why is there no list price?

Because a list price would be a guess. Two houses that look alike from the street can have completely different conditions underneath, and then a single figure is wrong for at least one of them. Elvy sets the price per house instead, from an energy analysis, so it reflects what your house actually draws.

That's why you won't find a price in an ad or a headline, not even a from-price. The price exists, but it belongs to a specific house, not to a price list. Fixing a number before we've seen the house would be a gamble, and that isn't what you want when the agreement runs for 15 years.

What makes your price yours?

Mainly two things: how much heat the house needs, and how much electricity you get through. A large or poorly insulated house up north has a bigger heating need than a small, well-insulated one down south. Then the heating you have today weighs in, how the roof faces the sun, and your consumption over the year.

All of that goes into the energy analysis and lands in a single monthly amount. You don't see the individual line items, you see the total, and it's built for your house rather than for an average. It's also why your neighbour's price tells you very little.

Is the price fixed, or does it change?

It's fixed for 15 years. Once a year it's adjusted by the consumer price index, the same index that moves most other things, and never by the spot price. Whatever the spot price gets up to tonight never shows up on your bill. You pay the same in January as in July.

There's also no upfront cost and no loan for the equipment. The hardware is financed through operational leasing and sits inside the monthly fee. So you tie up no capital, and what you see is the whole cost, not an instalment with a lump sum waiting somewhere.

Do you make it back on the green-tech deduction?

Grönt avdrag, the green-tech tax deduction, is for private individuals who buy and own the equipment. For 2026 it's 15 percent on solar panels and 50 percent on a battery and charging point, with a shared ceiling of 50,000 kronor per person a year. It brings down the price of a purchase you make and own.

In a subscription there's no such purchase to deduct against. Elvy owns the equipment, and a company can't claim grönt avdrag. That sounds like a drawback until you remember the deduction only softens an upfront payment, and in the subscription there's no upfront payment to soften in the first place.

And the surplus you sell?

Here's a misconception worth straightening out. The tax reduction for micro-production, the 60 öre per kilowatt-hour many people still count on, was abolished as of 1 January 2026 by a decision of the Riksdag. Through 2025 it gave 60 öre per kilowatt-hour on a basis of up to 30,000 kilowatt-hours, so at most 18,000 kronor a year, and never more than you bought in. The condition was that feed-in and draw happened at the same connection point, with a main fuse of no more than 100 amperes.

From 2026 it's gone. Surplus you feed out instead earns a spot-price-based payment from the electricity buyer, plus roughly 5 öre per kilowatt-hour in grid benefit from the grid owner. In the subscription Elvy owns and runs the whole system, battery included, so the surplus can be stored and used or sold when it's worth more, rather than dumped cheap in the middle of the day. That payment goes to Elvy for as long as you're a customer, and it's part of how the fee can stay fixed and low: Elvy takes the revenue from the surplus and the risk that comes with it. Your monthly figure doesn't move, whatever the surplus earns.

So how do you find out what it costs for your house?

You get an energy analysis of the house. You enter your address, Elvy looks at what the house has to work with and works out a fixed monthly figure. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing, it's simply how you find out what your particular house comes to.

Until then, any number anyone throws out, this article included, is a guess. The point of pricing per house is that you get an answer that's right for yours, not an average that's right for no one. What it comes to is what the analysis decides.
