Project Background

Located in Trapani, Sicily, Italy, the Costa family, owners of a beachfront villa, had long been troubled by high electricity bills for cooling due to the Mediterranean climate. Local summer electricity prices peaked at €0.42 per kWh, and the power grid frequently experienced voltage instability during peak tourist seasons. Benefiting from the Italian government's "Ecobonus 90%" tax credit policy, the family decided to upgrade to a photovoltaic and energy storage system.

User Feedback

"Our energy bill has dropped from an average of €350 per month to less than €50. During the peak tourist season in August, when our neighbors experienced power outages due to grid overload, our system not only ensured normal power supply but also sold excess electricity back to the grid, generating revenue."
