Background
The client was referred to Xcel Energía by a previous customer. Following this, we arranged a free on-site consultation to assess the property and understand the client’s energy usage.
During our visit, the client expressed a desire to reduce their €250 monthly electricity bill. Rising energy costs were a major concern, and they were looking for a solution that would significantly reduce their long-term outgoings.
Given the residential nature of the property and the client’s future-focused mindset, they were also interested in integrating an EV charger as part of the installation to support an upcoming electric vehicle purchase.
Equipment
- 14x 485W solar panels
- 1x Livoltek battery
- 1x Livoltek inverter (test)
Installation
Our initial survey projected a dramatic reduction in the client’s monthly energy bill—from €250 down to just €20. The client was eager to move forward with the installation, given the projected return on investment within three years.
We installed 14 JA Solar 615W panels to ensure high-efficiency production, alongside a 10kW Livoltek battery to store excess energy for evening use. The system was optimised for the client’s daily usage pattern and future EV needs.
The inclusion of the Livoltek EV charger ensured that the client could charge their vehicle using self-generated solar energy, enhancing energy independence and further reducing grid reliance.
Results
The client is now enjoying over 90% savings on their electricity bills, averaging just €20 a month. With the solar system already delivering excellent returns, they are on track to recoup the full investment in under three years.
The Livoltek EV charger has given the client peace of mind for their upcoming electric vehicle purchase, and they’ve noted how seamless and stress-free the installation process was thanks to the professionalism of the Xcel Energía team.
“We’re absolutely thrilled with the results. Our bills have dropped dramatically, and the EV charger gives us future flexibility. The whole experience with Xcel Energía was smooth, professional, and clearly focused on long-term value. Would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking of going solar!”
