As solar rapidly advances to become mainstream, homeowners and commercial property owners face the challenge of making informed decisions about their solar energy investment. While the benefits of solar energy are evident, understanding how to protect that investment can be more complex. This article aims to shed light on Solar Insure and explain why many are increasingly choosing our monitoring and warranty products to safeguard their solar and battery systems.
What is Solar Insure?
Solar Insure offers monitoring and warranty products, such as the popular 30-Year Monitoring and Warranty and 20-Year Battery Monitoring and Warranty, to provide the best protection installers can deliver for homeowners and commercial buildings. As the leading provider of solar monitoring and protection solutions, Solar Insure’s mission is to safeguard renewable energy investments, support the growth of clean, sustainable energy and contribute to a greener future.
Solar Insure prioritizes homeowner peace of mind when going solar by monitoring and covering key solar and battery storage parts and labor needs making sure your system is secured and any alerts on your system are attended to by a Solar Insure Certified Installer, enabling you to harness the benefits of renewable energy fully. By becoming a Solar Insure customer, you’re not only protecting your investment but also taking an active role in promoting a more sustainable world where you have the most uptime on your system.
What Solar Insure is and what it is not
Solar Insure is not an insurance company but offers its customers monitoring and warranty products through a strong network of vetted and approved Solar Insure Certified Installers.
Solar Insure is a partner with Zurich North America that has allowed us to provide an insurance-backed warranty that goes beyond the existing manufacturer’s warranty. That means when customers purchase our solar energy monitoring system with the additional warranty, they know they are covered.
The Solar Insure Warranty steps in if the manufacturer’s solar panel or battery warranty is dishonored because the manufacturer has defaulted, and it’s satisfying to know it is backed by a company like Zurich North America, which has been around for 151 years.
Our 30-Year Monitoring and Warranty is unique to the solar industry as it provides manufacturer default coverage along with roof penetration and battery storage coverage, all included at the time of installation with no further out-of-pocket costs or deductibles.
How do you purchase Solar Insure?
To purchase Solar Insure monitoring and warranty products, you must work with a Solar Insure Certified Installer and add Solar Insure at the time of installation. You can contact us to get a list of Solar Insure Certified Installers in your area at 714-625-8204. We work exclusively with vetted installers to ensure that homeowner installations are performed by tested and vetted companies that cater to the quality and best outcomes for residential homeowners.
Suppose you’re a homeowner or looking to add solar and battery to your home. In that case, you can reach out to Solar Insure and request from our team a curated list of our Certified Installers, each rigorously vetted and approved for their exceptional expertise. Remember to inquire about the inclusion of battery storage in your solar system, as there are numerous incentives you could potentially qualify for. Don’t forget to consider integrating Solar Insure’s 20-Year Battery Monitoring and Warranty into your installation for enhanced peace of mind.
Solar Insure can only be purchased at the time of installation. It’s a common misconception that Solar Insure’s monitoring and warranty can be added to a system after installation or following an issue. However, our model is designed to work exclusively with pre-approved, rigorously vetted installers and solar manufacturers to guarantee the highest quality installations. Since we cannot validate installations executed outside of our program, we are unable to shoulder the risk associated with systems installed beyond our Certified Installer network.
Solar Insure can be inherited if it was purchased at the time of installation. So, for example, if you’ve purchased a home with solar panels and you’re unsure if they came with Solar Insure’s monitoring and warranty, give us a call to find out.
It is vital for Solar Insure to work with the best manufacturers and solar installers to ensure peace of mind for its consumers transitioning to renewable energy. Solar Insure has an extensive vetting process for solar installers who, once approved, are given a Certified Installer badge. Solar Insure’s mission to accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energies and smart energy homes starts with having the best equipment and trustworthy installers to provide an optimum renewable energy experience.

Why the Solar Insure process is important to maintain the highest quality installations
Solar Insure only works with companies that meet the highest standard of quality workmanship and customer service. Solar Insure is not meant for installers who do not uphold the same integrity and commitment to their customers.
Why does this matter? Solar Insure is passionately committed to supporting owners of solar and battery storage systems by connecting them with thoroughly vetted installers. Our dedication to working with top-tier products and proficient installers is aimed at ensuring that every solar adopter benefits from exceptional design and installation services. In the event of necessary repairs or should the installer cease operations, the solar system owner can rest assured knowing they have a dependable, long-term partner to guide them throughout their solar ownership journey.
The entire Solar Insure team is dedicated to strengthening the renewable energy industry and its reputation with homeowners. This steadfast commitment is reflected in our 5-star rating and more than 130 glowing reviews on Google. Whether you’re an existing Solar Insure customer, searching for answers about your current system, or in the midst of signing a deal, help is just a phone call away. We offer consistent support, regardless of your situation.
Consider this: if a homeowner decides to sell their property equipped with solar panels, the succeeding owner can anticipate the same high-quality service. Our 30-Year Monitoring and Warranty product carries over to them without any additional cost or fuss.
What are some of the risks of not having Solar Insure?
Choosing to install a solar system without a Solar Insure warranty can lead to several potential risks and inconveniences. Here are some key considerations:
- Lack of Support if Installer Ceases Operations: If your solar installer goes out of business, you could be left without any recourse for addressing system issues or repairs. Solar Insure offers a safety net by stepping in to provide support if this occurs.
- Out-of-Pocket Expenses: Without a Solar Insure warranty, you may have to bear the costs of equipment failure and labor for repairs or replacement yourself. These expenses can be substantial, potentially offsetting the savings you gain from solar energy.
- Manufacturer’s Warranty Limitations: Equipment manufacturers typically provide a limited warranty that may not cover all aspects of the system, such as labor for repair or full replacement cost. Without Solar Insure, you could be left to pay for anything the manufacturer’s warranty doesn’t cover.
- Non-Transferability of Monitoring and Warranty: A Solar Insure warranty can be transferred to a new homeowner if you decide to sell your property. Without it, the new owner might not benefit from existing warranties or monitoring services, which could impact the property’s marketability.
- Loss of Long-Term Peace of Mind: Solar Insure provides an assurance that your solar system will be cared for throughout its lifespan. Without it, you may face uncertainty and potential stress over future system performance and maintenance.
- Risk of Deteriorating System Performance: Without the monitoring service provided by Solar Insure, minor issues could go unnoticed, leading to a decline in system performance over time, eventually affecting your energy savings.
- Potential Impact on Property Value: A well-maintained solar system with a transferable warranty can enhance a property’s value. Without Solar Insure, the perceived value and appeal of the solar system to potential buyers may be diminished.
By addressing these potential risks, Solar Insure provides a solution to protect your investment in renewable energy, offering assurance for the present and future.
