The fledgling nature of the renewable energy industry makes obtaining affordable insurance challenging. These challenges include insurers’ unfamiliarity with PV technologies, a lack of historical loss data (i.e., insurance claims), and limited test data for the long-term viability of PV products under real-life conditions.
