Testimonials of Solar Asset Management Software Milk the Sun
“Keeping track of your PV systems can be time-consuming.

Testimonials of Solar Asset Management Software Milk the Sun
“I have been investing in solar for a few years now and own 4 different systems spread across the south of Germany. Keeping track of my investments is a real challenge. I need to look for the necessary information in at least 5 different places before I can get the full overview of how they are performing. Now I have everything conveniently arranged in one single place, which saves me a lot of time.”
M. Wittler from Leipzig
Testimonials of Solar Asset Management Software Milk the Sun
“The Solar Asset Management from Milk the Sun has helped me get a better understanding of how my assets are performing and what I can do to optimize them. Before, I was just aware of the energy they were producing, and any optimization measure was not worth the effort. Now I know that there are a lot of different levers that I can adjust to optimize my returns, like my financial and operational costs. My portfolio is now fine-tuned and I know day to day what is worth and how it is performing.”
M. Schröder-Heise from Rietberg

The Key Performance Indicators in Milk the Sun's Asset Management are:

Energy generated: The generated energy represents the total energy produced by the PV system during the given period by the sun rays. If you have connected your monitoring system to the website, the energy generated corresponds to the actual energy production of your PV system. Otherwise, the value is derived from the data you entered manually. At portfolio level, this is the total amount of energy produced by all the PV systems in your portfolio for the given period.

Cash Flow: The amount that remains after deducting the operating and debt financing costs from the return for the given period is called the cash flow. If there is a surplus of income over costs, the cash flow becomes positive for the given period. If the cash flow is negative, the income cannot cover the costs. The cash flow of the portfolio represents the cumulative cash flows of the individual PV systems.

CO2 savings: CO2 savings indicate how much carbon dioxide is avoided by operating the plant and are based on an average calculated for the European Union. The total portfolio saving is the sum of these values for all PV installations in your portfolio.
The Financial Peformance Indicators in Milk the Sun's Asset Management are:

Revenue: Depending on the type of feed-in, the revenue is the cash inflow generated by selling the generated energy in exchange for a fixed feed-in tariff and/or the savings from self consumption.

Operating costs: The expenses consist of costs for insurance, maintenance and other costs for the operation of the plant. They are calculated in accordance with the bank's standard.

The investment analysis of the plant is based on three key figures which reflect the economic efficiency of the plant:

Fair value: The present (discounted) value of the future cash flows generated from the present date to the end of the useful life of the asset (assuming the given revenue, cost and financing structure). The total fair value is the sum of the fair values of the individual PV systems in the portfolio.

Return on equity: The return on equity indicates how much return is generated by the use of equity in a given amount and serves to compare different investments. In principle, the higher the return on equity, the better the investment. The average return on equity at portfolio level is calculated as the average of the individual returns on equity of the investments.

Net present value: The net present value indicates whether the investment in this PV system has been successful by calculating the present value of the cash flows generated by this investment. In general, an investment is worthwhile if the net present value is greater than zero. If the actual purchase price is the fair value, the net present value is exactly zero. The total net present value is the sum of the net present values of the individual PV installations in the portfolio.
