The company Solar Cash S.r.l. requests a minimum financing of € 100.000 (with a maximum of € 300.000) which will be used for the construction and installation of a roof photovoltaic system at the headquarters of an SME with 646 kWp that will be part of a Renewable Energy Community (CER) located in Elmas (CA).
A Renewable Energy Community (CER) is a legal entity that can be created through the association of citizens, businesses, commercial activities, and local authorities who decide to join forces in order to share the energy produced from renewable sources with economic, environmental, and social benefits. The electricity produced by the photovoltaic system can be consumed immediately or shared. The sharing of energy within the CER occurs virtually: the energy produced, excluding that physically self-consumed, is fed into the grid and contributes to the calculation of shared energy.
The photovoltaic system will have a production capacity of 646 kWp and the renewable energy produced thanks to the photovoltaic system will be 856.086 kWh, of which 588.045 kWh are intended for Shared Self-Consumption and 147.011 kWh of excess energy not shared and fed into the grid.
The project is based on a form of contract called EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction), also known as "Turnkey": it involves carrying out all phases of engineering, installation, and construction of a plant on behalf of an end customer, taking care of all aspects in detail. The end customer can choose the most convenient agreement to repay the ESCo.
The amount raised specifically serves to anticipate funds through bridge financing for the construction and installation of the plant by Solar Cash S.r.l., which will be subsequently settled by the SME to the ESCo according to the most convenient formula for both parties.
In addition to the energy savings resulting from the production of photovoltaic energy, the end customer will also benefit from incentives and contributions due to the CER (Renewable Energy Certificates). In this way, thanks to the resulting double savings, the customer will be able to repay the plant to Solar Cash.
ENERSCORE+ & EASYSCORE INTEGRATED EXPERT
Ener2Crowd provides a first qualitative parameter called "EnerScore+" that is assigned to each individual investment proposal. This parameter defines a SCORING that objectively, comprehensively, and comprehensibly summarizes all the data that characterize the project from a technical point of view, starting from an ESG evaluation expressed in CLASSES, and a verification of the activated SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
A specific Financial Rating called "Integrated Expert Easyscore" is expressed, resulting from the credit analysis carried out by the company EasyFintech, which verifies the reliability and solidity of the creditworthiness of the Project Owner Company. EasyFintech S.r.l. is a company that carries out commercial information reselling activities with License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. no. 14795/12B15E of 31/01/2020.
In the case of the Project proposed by the company Solar Cash S.r.l., the resulting EnerScore+ is 9.83, so an ENERSCORE+ BBB (ESG) is assigned, while the Integrated Expert Easyscore is at level 5 - MODERATE SOLVENCY.

NOTE: It is specified that these values represent only a reflection element that an investor can consider in the decision to participate in the financing.
In recent months, the global socio-economic context has led to a strong increase in inflation, that is, the prolonged increase in the average level of prices for goods and services. For this reason, the ECB predicts an increase in mortgage and financing rates with the aim of preserving the purchasing power of consumers.
INDEXING TO EURIRS AND EURIBOR INDICES
Unlike an initial phase where the effective interest was calculated based on a base rate, corrected through a Correction Factor (Fc), starting from 2024 a new method of defining the Interest Rate is introduced. In this specific case, similar to how Banks define the interest rate applied to loans, in this case, the interest rate is linked to the EURIRS index (in the case of fixed rate) and EURIBOR index (in the case of variable rate).
The installation intervention of the CER will take place at a SME located in Elmas, in the Province of Cagliari.

Solar Cash S.r.l. is a company born in 2012. It operates in the field of Energy Efficiency throughout the national territory, satisfying the needs of both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and large ones.
The company is experienced in managing commercial networks and developing new sales models. Thanks to a widespread network of "qualified installers" throughout the national territory and the management-organizational model, it is possible to implement energy redevelopment projects by evaluating both technological and financial aspects.
For Solar Cash, Energy Efficiency is not just an investment to reduce costs, but also a priority for the environment and life. For this reason, financial tools are sought that can guarantee entrepreneurs to minimize the investment cost, often not affordable for everyone.
The analysis of the Company, which aims to raise funds, is the result of the Report issued by EasyFintech S.r.l. - License art. 134 TULPS Prefecture of Milan prot. n. 14795/12B15E of 31/01/2020 - based on computer systems of available databases such as Crif, CriBis, CeBi, Cerved, Dun & Bradstreet, InfoCamere, and other financial scoring tools that combine traditional analysis (economic-financial, performance, reputational) with statistical methodologies based on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Analysis.
Below is a brief summary of the findings emerged in the analysis of the company Solar Cash S.r.l., a company founded in 2012 dedicated to and specialized in energy efficiency.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors is Tommaso Bordini, on whom no negative aspects emerge.
The adopted analysis methodology involves the calculation of a synthetic risk indicator, called Integrated Easyscore by EasyFintech S.r.l., obtained through a proprietary algorithm that integrates and synthesizes three partial scores (Easyscore Expert, CeBi Score 4, and CR Score). The Integrated Easyscore of EasyFintech places the company in an area corresponding to the judgment of "Moderate Solvency".
Below are summarized the analyses of the other partial scores:
• Cribis D&B Rating: evaluates the financial solvency and commercial reliability of the company through the calculation of the Cribis d&b Rating (Failure score, Delinquency score, Paydex Cribis d&b, negative events). Solar Cash has been assigned a Cribis Rating equal to "3" with a cessation risk "higher than average"; and a financial consistency equal to €1,381,113
• CeBi Score 4: CeBi elaborations provide the calculation of PD - Probability Default through a certified algorithm for the banking world, within the scope of scoring models and internal rating systems (so-called Internal Rating Based) used by Italian Credit Institutions. The scores evaluate the economic and financial solidity of the company, placed in its current and prospective economic system. The analysis of the balance sheet as of 31-12-2022, in terms of insolvency risk, classifies the company in class V2, corresponding to a Vulnerability situation with a PD of 1.26%. This class includes 11.32% of companies belonging to the sector BUILDING CONSTRUCTION RESIDENTIAL AND NON-RESIDENTIAL. The entire sector is also positioned in the same class.
• CR Score: expresses synthetically a judgment on the use of credit lines granted to it by the banking system, reported within the Central Credit Risks of the Bank of Italy. The Score referred to the Central Credit Risks of the Bank of Italy is calculated over a 12-month period. This value is reserved as it is not public data, but the analysis did not reveal any critical issues.
The preceding analyses, summarized in the Integrated Easyscore of EasyFintech, place the company Solar Cash S.r.l. in an area of "Moderate Solvency".
CONCLUSIONS
Solar Cash S.r.l. shows robust revenue growth and significant improvement in profitability over time. However, the company must carefully manage the increase in operating costs and financial burdens, as well as monitor the growing level of debt. The prospects are positive but require prudent and strategic management of resources and liabilities to support growth and further improve profitability, as highlighted by the data of the 2022 Balance Sheet and of the 2023 Provisional.
The Financing Agreement is a purpose loan: Solar Cash S.r.l. commits to use the funds received from the Investors exactly as specified in the Project outlined in the public offering and not to divert them for other purposes.
The estimated cost for the construction of the plant is around €505.000. The minimum target for the collection on Ener2Crowd will cover 20% of the Capex, while the maximum target will cover 60% of the total.
The lending crowdfunding campaign is a bridge loan that the company uses to cover the initial costs and continue with the construction works; the remaining portion of the Capex is covered by company funds.
The amortization plan provides for the repayment of both capital and interest with each installment. Therefore, there will be quarterly installments amounting to € 28.805,22.
The following amortization plan for Solar Cash S.r.l. is calculated with an interest rate of 9% for a total of €300.000.
N.B.: The start of the amortization plan is effective from the first available date after the terms of the release, therefore the table provided is a mere simulation containing the first available date in case the campaign is finalized upon its expiration.

Energy communities are a model of energy organization and management that involves a community of individuals, businesses, or local entities collaborating to produce, consume, and share energy sustainably. These communities promote self-production and self-consumption of renewable energy, reducing dependence on traditional and centralized sources of energy supply through production from renewable energy plants. Production facilities are often installed at the community or neighborhood level and can be owned collectively or cooperatively, involving community members as shareholders or participants. One key aspect of energy communities is the sharing of the energy produced. This means that locally generated energy can be consumed within the community itself or sold to nearby users, creating a decentralized energy exchange model. In this way, energy communities promote energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support the local economy. Energy communities can also include smart energy management solutions, such as consumption management, real-time monitoring, and battery storage management. These technologies help optimize the use of produced energy and promote greater energy autonomy at the local level. Energy communities represent an opportunity to actively involve citizens in the transition to a more sustainable energy system, promoting participation, innovation, and awareness of energy consumption. This type of initiative presents several benefits, not only environmental but also social, and supporting it is an important step towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.
It is estimated that the 646 kWp R.E.C. of the Solar Cash S.r.l. project will have an estimated total annual producibility of 856.086 kWh, which is equivalent to:
Saving 368.117 kg of CO2 in the atmosphere every year
Planting 36.812 trees, enough to cover an area of 188 football fields
Avoiding the emissions of exhaust gases from 257 cars every year
These are the effects and benefits that can also be generated thanks to your contribution!
