Does homeowners insurance cover solar panels?

Solar panel insurance coverage is included in most homeowners insurance policies, which means no separate solar panel insurance is needed. Solar energy systems and the rooftop panels or tiles are largely considered a permanent attachment to your property, similar to a patio or a security system.

Does insurance cover rooftop solar?

While rooftop solar is typically covered in a standard policy, your insurer may or may not cover other types of installations, such as ground-mounted solar panels and solar panel carports. Whether or not these separate systems are covered depends on your insurer's policy.

Are solar panels covered by a PPA?

If you subscribe to a PPA or lease your solar panels, a third party owns your system and is responsible for damage and maintenance. In this case, you will not be responsible for ensuring coverage, but you should talk to your lease or PPA provider before committing to make sure that any unforeseen damage will be covered.
