What is the Solar Insure Certified Provider badge?

Solar Insure exists to protect consumer investments in solar and accelerate the transition to renewable energy. That means offering coverage that stands behind a customer’s system when covered parts fail, and that stays in place if the company who installed it is no longer operating.

The Certified Provider badge is a visible mark that your company passed the Solar Insure vetting process. In an industry where a homeowner has no reliable way to tell one contractor from another, that mark does work on your behalf before you ever get to the kitchen table.

Solar Insure has served homeowners and solar contractors since 2006. We are dedicated to the growth of this industry, and we work with companies that share that commitment.

Who is the Certified Provider badge for?

• Solar contractors and installers
• Solar sales organizations that install through a vetted contractor

How does the badge work?

The program starts with the installer vetting process. You submit documentation, we run diligence, and approved companies receive the badge to display.

Three steps:

1. Get approved for the program
2. Include Solar Insure coverage at the point of installation
3. Register your customers’ warranties

What does the badge mean?

It means Solar Insure reviewed your company against a defined set of checks and approved you to offer our warranty products. Those checks include contractor license verification, home improvement contract review, financial and credit review, insurance verification, OSHA history, and reputation assessment.

A homeowner reading a proposal has no way to run any of that themselves. The badge tells them someone did.

What are the benefits for your company?

• Signals to homeowners that an independent third party vetted your business
• Puts a recognized mark on every proposal you send
• Gives your customers a warranty that survives a change in your business
• Reimburses you for labor on covered service work, which lowers your service overhead
• Separates you from contractors who have not been reviewed

What it means for the homeowner

• 30 years of coverage on qualifying residential systems
• Monitoring through SolarDetect
• Equipment covered under the Solar Insure Approved Vendor List
• Coverage that continues if their original installer closes

Where to place your badge

Once approved, display the badge anywhere a homeowner is evaluating you:

• Website
• Email signature
• New Circulations
• Social media
• Proposals and infographics
• Print materials and brochures
• Digital graphics
