Insurance is important to several aspects of photovoltaic (PV) plant operations. Insurance is often a prerequisite for financing, operating permits, interconnection agreements, and leases or as part of a power purchase agreement for an on-site PV system. The history of insurance for PV systems is short compared to other types of assets.
A major component of operation-and-maintenance costs for commercial or utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems is insuring against losses from physical damage or liability for losses caused to others (Speer, Mendelsohn, and Cory 2010).
The insurance industry continues to design creative solutions to long-standing and well-known as well as new and emerging threats and exposures for PV system owners, including homeowners, commercial enterprises, and utility-scale PV power generators as well as the third parties that develop, design, and install these systems.
The PV PlantProtect insurance program is available for utility-scale solar power plants in any market around the world, including systems with bifacial modules. The policy behind PV PlantProtect is a well-established, A-rated PV Power Outage insurance policy underwritten by Ariel RE, a syndicate of Lloyd's of London.
