TYPES OF RISKS & EXPOSURES

Critical vulnerabilities in Renewable Energy & Solar.

Whether powering agricultural irrigation or utility-scale renewable generation, solar operators face high equipment sensitivity to lightning surges, panel shattering, inverter breakdown, and submersible dry-run wear.

Asset & Property01

Hailstorms, Cyclones & PV Panel Shattering

Violent storms, heavy hail, and gale-force wind shears cracking or completely ripping crystalline solar modules from mounting structures.

Impact: Tens of thousands in module replacement costs and prolonged energy generation loss.
Recommended: Solar All Risks & Natural Perils Protection
Asset & Property02

Submersible Pump Burnout & Inverter Failure

High thermal stress, grid harmonic fluctuations, lightning-induced voltage spikes, and sand ingress causing motor winding burnout in deep borewells.

Impact: Severe agricultural irrigation failure, crop dehydration, and costly deep-well extraction.
Recommended: Solar Pumping Insurance (Machinery Breakdown Extension)
Asset & Property03

Remote Theft, Cable Pilferage & Vandalism

Unattended agricultural fields and solar installations targeted for copper DC cabling, control units, and solar panels.

Impact: Immediate system paralysis and recurrent uninsured capital replacement expenses.
Recommended: Burglary, Theft & Malicious Damage Cover
Operational & Interruption04

Borewell Dry-Run & Water Table Depletion

Pumps running dry when underground water levels drop drastically during peak summer months, melting mechanical seals and bearings.

Impact: Motor failure and emergency borehole redrilling requirements.
Recommended: Solar Pumping Dry-Run & Mechanical Endorsement
Liability & Legal05

Third-Party Electrical Hazard & Environmental Liability

Short circuits causing brush fires that spread to neighboring agricultural crops or inadvertent electrocution of stray cattle.

Impact: Farmer compensation disputes and local community claims.
Recommended: Public Liability (Renewable Installations)
UNDERWRITING PARAMETERS

What insurers inspect in Renewable Energy & Solar.

Insurers price risks based on loss prevention safeguards, operational maintenance, and safety compliance. Here is what we audit before going to market on your behalf.

01

Solar module OEM tier rating, wattage, and structural wind resistance certifications

02

Submersible pump depth, discharge rating, and manufacturer warranty terms

03

Lightning protection arresters (LA) and earthing resistance values (Ohms)

04

Borewell dry-run sensor integration and automatic shut-off controllers

05

Site perimeter security (fencing, night watch, CCTV) for remote installations

SECTOR EXPERTISE

Frequently asked risk questions.

Have questions specific to your facility, assets, or contract wording? Our advisory team is ready to help.

Speak to our sector specialists
Does standard fire insurance cover underground submersible solar pumps?

No. Standard fire insurance stops at the ground level. Specialized Solar Pumping Insurance is required to cover down-hole submersible pumps and motor windings against electrical burnout and sand seizure.

Are solar panels covered if damaged by monkeys or stray animals?

Under specialized Solar All Risk policies with a Malicious & Animal Damage extension, accidental breakage by wildlife can be covered subject to agreed deductibles.

How is transit covered when transporting panels from distributor to farm?

Transit is covered under an In-Transit Marine Cargo extension, safeguarding delicate photovoltaic modules against transit vibrations, rollover, and unloading breakage.
