Is solar power insurance truly necessary?
No technology, however high-tech, is exempt from theft or damage, including solar energy. In South Africa theft is always a possibility alongside strong winds, flooding, lightning, hail, power surges and accidents. Damage may also occur in transit (marine or inland), during installation by the contractor/sub-contractor, or during the operational phase.
Should something happen to any items during transit, construction, or during the operational phase it can potentially set a project back considerably both in timeline and budget. Especially if replacement parts need to be shipped from overseas. Consort’s Comprehensive Energy Insurance (CEI)
