Solar
Solar projects face different weather, utility, construction and operating conditions, but the same fundamental question applies: what would it take to repair the asset and restore revenue after a loss?
HUB’s Renewable Energy specialists help developers, owners, EPC contractors and operators align insurance and risk management with the project’s site, equipment, contracts and long-term operating realities.
Stay Ahead of Industry Challenges
Protect solar assets against the risks built into site, technology and project structure
Solar risk is shaped before commercial operation through siting, equipment selection, engineering, construction and contractual decisions. Those decisions influence asset performance and future potential claims outcomes.
Hail, wind, snow, wildfire, flood and other hazards vary across geographies and can affect both physical damage exposure and insurability.
HUB considers catastrophe exposure, project design, module and tracker selection, mitigation controls and business interruption when evaluating how the project should be insured.
Natural catastrophe risk should be addressed as a project-design input, not only as an insurance-market issue.
A well sited asset and a program informed by the actual conditions surrounding the asset.
Solar modules, inverters and system architecture can change substantially during the operating life of a project. Older central inverters may become unavailable, while newer panels may have different dimensions and electrical requirements.
HUB helps clients evaluate current replacement values, policy wording, equipment dependencies and realistic business interruption periods against the technology operating at the site.
Technology change can turn a component loss into a system-design question and further a project viability question.
Recovery assumptions that better reflect the current equipment market.
Transit damage, construction losses, contractor performance and delayed commissioning can affect project schedules and financial obligations. Utility, financing and contractual requirements can also differ between projects and jurisdictions.
HUB evaluates builders risk, delay in start-up, cargo, liability and contractual risk alongside the financing and operating obligations behind the project.
Insurance should reflect both what is being built and what depends on the project becoming operational.
Construction and operating protection aligned more closely with the project’s commercial structure.
Tailored Risk Solutions for Your Industry
Build solar protection around the full physical and financial lifecycle
HUB connects construction, technology, property and revenue exposures so the insurance strategy can evolve as the project moves into long-term operation.
Builders risk, cargo, delay in start-up and liability protection can be aligned with project contracts and the responsibilities of owners, EPC contractors and equipment suppliers.
Property and equipment breakdown are evaluated alongside current asset values, contractual obligations, natural catastrophe exposure, equipment lead times and the financial effect of extended downtime.
HUB considers warranties, OEM support, replacement availability, credit agreements, supply agreements and policy settlement provisions together to help clients anticipate how a future loss may actually be resolved.
