FAQs

Common Questions from Solar Installers Businesses

Does GL cover roof damage caused during a solar installation?

Yes. If your installation process damages a customer's roof, general liability covers the repair costs. Completed operations coverage is also important for defects discovered after installation.

What coverage do utility companies require from solar installers?

Utility interconnection agreements typically require $1M per occurrence in general liability and may require the utility to be named as additional insured. We help you meet these requirements quickly.

How much general liability coverage do I need?

Common options range from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, with higher aggregate limits available. Requirements vary by industry and client contracts. A licensed agent can discuss what's appropriate for your business size and risk.

Does general liability cover my employees?

No — employee injuries are covered by workers compensation, not general liability. GL focuses on third-party claims from customers, vendors, and the public.
