FAQs
Common Questions from Solar Installers Businesses
Does equipment breakdown cover a failed solar inverter after installation?
Equipment breakdown for installed customer systems requires a product warranty or manufacturer's coverage, not typically an installer's equipment breakdown policy. Your exposure is better addressed by completed operations coverage in your GL policy.
Does equipment breakdown cover installation tools and equipment?
Yes. Powered installation equipment like tilters, string inverters testers, and other specialty tools can be covered for sudden mechanical failure under equipment breakdown.
Isn't equipment breakdown covered by commercial property?
Standard commercial property policies cover damage from external causes — fire, storm, theft. They typically exclude mechanical or electrical breakdown from internal failure. Equipment breakdown coverage specifically addresses that internal failure scenario.
Does this cover normal wear and tear?
No — equipment breakdown covers sudden and accidental failure, not gradual deterioration or wear and tear. Routine maintenance issues and end-of-life breakdowns are generally excluded.
