Your PV installation is a valuable posses-
sion. Of course you want to make the most
of your investment. Unfortunately, it can oc-
cur that your PV installation becomes dam-
aged or gets stolen. Replacing or repairing
your PV installation involves costs that will
not be reimbursed by your warranty, such
as labor costs and call out charges. And
what if the manufacturer is bankrupt and
can no longer fulfill the warranty obliga-
tions?
You can secure your investment and reve-
nue with a Solar PV Insurance of Solar In-
surance & Finance. This insurance covers
damage caused by weather conditions, fire
and theft and compensates the loss of pro-
duction.
You can extend the insurance with the op-
tion ‘Inherent defect and warranty’, that
backs up the warranty, even if the manufac-
turer no longer exists.
Option ‘Inherent defect and warranty’
The option ‘Inherent defect and warranty’ with the Solar PV Insurance
consists of two parts:
1. Inherent defect
In case the manufacturer does not provide compensation, the option
‘Inherent defect and warranty’ covers damage caused by an inferior
characteristic (an inherent defect) to your modules or inverters. Such
deficiency can result in considerable losses. A defect part must be
inspected, disassembled and replaced. In this period (part of) your
installation is decommissioned and you lose revenue. The cover
knows a maximum of 20 years for modules and a maximum of 7.5
years for inverters.
2. Warranty
This provides cover if you have a legitimate claim within the warranty
period and the manufacturer:
Can’t fulfill the obligations due to bankruptcy
Rejects your warranty claim
Disputes the liability
The insurance compensates new materials, labor costs, call out charge
and loss of production in case of a covered event.
The option ‘Inherent defect and warranty’ applies to modules that are
certified by Solar Insurance. Certification is the result of a positive audit
on tech-nical and financial aspects and environmental and labor condi-
tions in the factory. For large installations an audit of the installation is
also required.
