Homeowners – are you considering solar and want to make sure the significant investment you’re making is truly protected? Are you caught up in researching installers to make sure you go with the right company?
Solar installers – Are you losing profit from eating service and repair costs? Stuck having to compete on price rather than value? Do you find it difficult to establish trust with hesitant homeowners?
The ever-evolving solar market can be a tricky place to navigate for homeowners, but all share a common goal: cutting their energy bills and giving themselves peace of mind about their investment. Despite recent changes to federal incentive programs, solar isn’t going anywhere. The residential solar sector installed more than 4 GW of new panels in 2025, and that number is only expected to increase.
No one wants to make a large investment in anything, let alone a solar energy system, only to have it fail down the road and cost you an arm and a leg to repair.
And that’s where the SI-30 Solar warranty from Solar Insure comes in.

What is Solar Insure?
Founded in 2006, our dedicated team has decades of experience helping homeowners and businesses in solar and across multiple industries. And our mission is just that. We’re here to make the adoption of solar technology seamless, accessible, and most importantly, a secure investment for contractors and homeowners. Solar Insure is the Nation’s leading provider of independent, financially backed warranties for solar and storage systems.
Unlike traditional manufacturer warranties or contractor warranties that are limited in scope to just equipment failures or workmanship, our warranties add an extra layer of protection. Solar Insure warranties cover product failures, labor costs, and protect against manufacturer or installer default, meaning end-users are never left out to dry.
What is SI-30 Solar?
SI-30 Solar is our 30-year warranty for new solar power systems, covering panels, inverters, optimizers, racking, and roof penetrations. With an SI-30 warranty, solar energy systems are protected under a single, powerful 30-year warranty, providing homeowners with long-term peace of mind against unexpected issues.
SI-30 Solar Coverage Includes:
- System Equipment: Coverage on panels, inverters, optimizers, and racking. Components must be from the Solar Insure Approved Vendor List (AVL).
- Parts & Labor: Coverage includes remedying covered issues related to the system solution.
- Reseal & Reflash: Resealing and reflashing penetrations related to the solar installation within 3 inches from the mounting hardware.
- Manufacturer Default Protection: Manufacturer and installer default is backed by Zurich North America, an A.M. Best A+ Rated insurance carrier.
- Zero Hidden Fees: Coverage includes a $0 deductible, $0 subscription, and $0 onboarding fees.
- Warranty Transfer: The warranty is assigned to the site address and seamlessly transfers to the new homeowners at no additional cost.
What Does this Mean for Homeowners?
Homeowners whose solar energy system is protected by an SI-30 Solar warranty have the industry’s best and longest investment protection. The coverage is included as part of your solar purchase and has zero hidden fees, subscription costs, or deductibles. The warranty can also be transferred seamlessly should you decide to sell your home.
Should you experience a problem with your system, your installer diagnoses and repairs the problem, working with manufacturers to get replacement parts if necessary. They then file a claim with Solar Insure to have labor costs reimbursed to them. Homeowners don’t have to worry about filing claims or chasing down manufacturers.
If your original installer is out of business, homeowners contact Solar Insure directly if they notice a problem, and our expert team diagnoses the issue and works with manufacturers on your behalf to get replacement parts. We also coordinate and dispatch a service provider to complete the work, and you pay nothing.
What Does This Mean for Solar Installers?
Solar providers who become Solar Insure Certified Providers and offer SI-30 Solar warranties to their homeowners differentiate themselves from the competition, which are just trying to be the lowest price. Instead, they can convey the true value of their solar offering and provide their customers with a truly beneficial, long-term solution.
Solar providers can also turn their service teams into profit centers for the company. Rather than performing service and eating costs to avoid having to charge customers, solar providers can get paid for the service work they’re already obligated to do.
Solar Insure warranties transform how your business operates and competes.
