What type of insurance products are needed for solar farms?
Glowsure works with leading insurers to help solar energy businesses find the right insurance products to meet their needs. Here are just a few examples of typical products you might need:
Commercial Property insurance
This product protects against damage to your solar farm’s physical infrastructure, such as photovoltaic panels, inverters, and substations, caused by events like fire, theft, vandalism, and weather conditions (e.g., storms and floods).
Public liability insurance
This insurance covers legal costs in the case of injury or damage to a third party on your solar premises or nearby. For instance, if someone trips and falls at work or if construction causes damage to a neighbouring property.
Business interruption insurance
This protects your solar farm’s income if operations have to stop due to an insured event, like equipment damage or natural disasters. It compensates your business for lost revenue during downtime for repairs.
What does solar farm insurance cover?
Solar farm insurance covers a wide range of equipment, risks and events, including:
Damage to equipment, buildings and structures, including photovoltaic panels, inverters, transformers and substations.
Damage caused by extreme weather and natural disasters, including floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes (depending on the policy’s specifics).
Revenue loss if the solar farm is unable to generate power due to an insured event (e.g., equipment damage, fire, or flood).
Mechanical breakdown or electrical failure for equipment like inverters, transformers, and other electrical systems.
Unexpected breakdowns that disrupt operations (beyond standard wear and tear).
Third-party injury, for example, if a visitor, contractor, or passerby is injured on the solar farm.
Third-party property damage, for example, if construction causes damage to a neighbouring property (e.g., equipment falls, fire spreads).
Legal costs, such as solicitor fees and compensation related to third-party injuries or damages.

Glowsure was recommended to us by another small business in the area. We have several commercial insurances and decided to use Glowsure because of the first class, friendly and personal service they provide. They know the nature of their business inside and out, are informative whenever there's been any queries and are always helpful and super-efficient. Glowsure make the renewal process feel so easy and quotations are always provided way before the given deadline. In the unfortunate event of a claim, the fact Glowsure will deal with everything on our behalf thus freeing up valuable office admin time for our staff is an added bonus that no other brokers have offered. Thank you Glowsure team for an A++ service, we'd recommend you anytime!
We began using Glowsure for our business and contractors insurances. Our business has grown rapidly and changed direction over the last year, leaving us with various insurance needs and a confusing list of policies we needed to procure. Wes has gone above and beyond in his efforts to assist us sorting everything out, countless visits to the office and always at the end of the phone to help answer queries. He has excellent knowledge of the insurance market and nothing has been too much trouble. Thanks Wes and team.
