How much money will Alva LINK actually save me?

It depends on what energy assets you have and how you use them. Here are realistic estimates based on a typical Nordic home with a dynamic electricity tariff:

Single-asset savings (per year with Autopilot β˜…)

  • Heat pump only: €122–€282/year β€” from shifting heating to cheaper hours and weather-predictive pre-heating
  • Home battery only: €150–€320/year β€” from charging at low/negative prices and discharging during peaks
  • EV charger only: €100–€260/year β€” from price-optimized overnight charging with departure-time scheduling
  • Solar inverter only: €50–€150/year β€” primarily from better self-consumption routing (solar's real value multiplies when paired with other assets)

Multi-asset savings (per year with Autopilot β˜…)

  • Heat pump + EV charger: €270–€570/year
  • Solar + battery + heat pump: €400–€880/year
  • Full system (solar + battery + EV + heat pump): €700–€1,350/year

Why multi-asset savings are higher than the sum of individual assets: When Alva LINK coordinates multiple devices, it unlocks "coordination bonuses" that no single device can achieve alone. For example: charging your battery from excess solar production at midday, then discharging it during the evening peak while your heat pump simultaneously reduces output. Each device covers for the other, creating a flexible energy system that a collection of standalone devices simply can't match.

The Autopilot subscription costs €49/year. Even a single heat pump generates enough savings to more than cover the subscription. Every additional asset increases the return. With a full four-asset system, you're seeing a 14x–28x return on the subscription cost.

How we prove it: The Alva app includes a monthly savings dashboard that shows your actual electricity cost versus what you would have paid without Autopilot's optimization. No estimates, real numbers from your real consumption, verified against your dynamic tariff's published hourly prices.
