The role of insurance and risk management in solar power
The role of insurance and risk management in solar power project financing Insurance | Prior to 2019, there was an ample number of insurers willing to provide renewable energy insurance,
Later, for a PV operation-and-maintenance cost model, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory reported insurance costs of 0.10% of installed cost, or on the order of $2/kW/year for a large plant, based on industry input collected in 2017 (Walker et al. 2020).
PV systems in different geographic locations are exposed to significantly different perils, which drives differences in insurance costs. As the PV industry matures, PV systems will become more robust in the face of expected perils, loss experience will become more stable and certain, and insurance costs will likely stabilize.
However, with increased claims and risks, price rises and lower availability of cover is impacting the sector. Duncan Gordon, head of Renewable Energy at specialist energy insurance brokerage and risk management firm Gallagher, provides an overview of how solar power project owners can navigate a challenging insurance market.
Insurance is important to several aspects of photovoltaic (PV) plant operations. Insurance is often a prerequisite for financing, operating permits, interconnection agreements, and leases or as part of a power purchase agreement for an on-site PV system. The history of insurance for PV systems is short compared to other types of assets.
