Why Does a Solar Installer Need Insurance?

Solar work combines rooftops, electricity, expensive equipment, and tight timelines. One accident, damaged property, or a workmanship dispute can turn into a costly claim. The right insurance helps you keep projects moving and protects your business when something goes wrong.

What Does Solar Installer Insurance Cover?

It can cover injuries to others, damage to a customer’s property, jobsite accidents, stolen tools, and certain claims tied to your completed work. Policies are built around how you install, wire, and service solar systems.

Roof leak after installation

A homeowner reports water intrusion near a mounting point weeks after the job. A claim may help pay for resulting property damage and your legal defence if you’re blamed for the leak.

Ladder slip injures a bystander

A ladder shifts during setup and strikes someone in the driveway. Coverage can help with medical bills, a demand letter, and related legal costs.

Tools stolen from the job site

Your crew returns to find inverters, power tools, or testing gear missing from a locked truck or site container. Inland marine coverage can help replace stolen equipment so you can stay on schedule.

Most solar installers start with general liability and workers’ compensation if they have employees.
