Solar Panel Insurance

Solar Panel Insurance

Protect your solar investment against the unexpected

Whether from electrical current, a lightning strike, or third-party action, even small damages can cause the entire photovoltaic system to shut down. Our solar insurance protects your photovoltaic installations, whether on the roof or on the building facade.

Benefits of this insurance

Broad coverage of damage causes

Covers damage from fire, lightning, storm, operating errors, clumsiness, sabotage or intent by third parties, construction defects, water, short circuit, overvoltage, frost, flooding, hail, or animal bites.

No residual value deduction

In the event of a claim, no deduction is applied for the residual value of the damaged equipment.

Loss-of-income coverage

You can supplement your policy with insurance covering lost profit from unsold electricity.

Protection from the construction phase

Coverage begins already during the construction phase, covering fire, lightning, explosion, storm, hail, and theft of installed parts.

What is covered

  • Unforeseen damage to the installation

    Covers unforeseen damage and destruction of the photovoltaic installation, regardless of its position on the building.

  • Short circuits and overvoltage

    Covers failures caused by short circuits, overcurrent, or overvoltage in the system.

  • Weather-related damage

    Covers damage from storm, hail, snow pressure, frost, and flooding.

  • Theft of components

    Covers theft of already installed parts, both during construction and operation.

What is not covered

  • Non-operational installations

    As a rule, only operational installations are insured; special conditions apply to out-of-service installations.

  • Natural performance decline of panels

    The gradual loss of performance from normal wear of the panels is not considered an insured event.

Frequently asked questions

Is this insurance mandatory?

No, photovoltaic insurance is not legally required. However, it is highly recommended to protect against significant financial risks.

Can I also insure the loss of income?

Yes, you can add loss-of-profit insurance that covers lost revenue from electricity sales and extra costs for external power purchases.

Does coverage apply only during operation?

No, with our policy, coverage already exists during the construction phase against fire, lightning, explosion, storm, or hail, as well as theft of installed parts.

Can I insure the installation as part of my home insurance?

For residential installations, photovoltaics can be integrated as an add-on module in building insurance; for commercial installations, this standalone solution is available.
