[Get Started](https://app.spot.insure/signup?coverage=builders-risk&industry=energy). Spot is not an insurance carrier and takes no commissions on premiums; you can keep your broker or switch.

## How Spot helps

1. **List each asset with its project dates.** Your Spot team lists each project asset with its owner and value next to the planned testing, commissioning and handover dates, so the gap between construction and operating terms is visible.
2. **Compare quotes for each project stage.** Brokers take your project to market with Spot, and we compare builders’ risk, transit, permanent property and equipment breakdown proposals stage by stage, including triggers and waiting periods.
3. **Check what changes at handover.** Spot asks which wording, trigger or named insured changes when the project moves to operations, and keeps the developer’s equipment apart from the installer’s tools.
4. **Keep each project’s documents together.** Contracts, schedules and policies for each project stay in one place, so the next build starts from what you learned on the last.

## Who we help

- **Solar developers.** Structures and materials sit on site during construction, before permanent operations begin.
- **Project owners and operators.** Your revenue depends on installed equipment, and a named inverter failing can interrupt it.
- **Installation contractors.** You move components and test gear to sites and complete work that can cause injury or damage later.
- **Operations and maintenance providers.** Your crews service projects in different states, with electrical tasks to describe.

## Coverage

- [Commercial property](https://spot.insure/insurance/commercial-property)
- [Equipment breakdown](https://spot.insure/insurance/equipment-breakdown)
- [Tools, equipment and inland marine](https://spot.insure/insurance/inland-marine)
- [Product liability](https://spot.insure/insurance/product-liability)
- [Workers’ compensation](https://spot.insure/insurance/workers-compensation)

## When to get this coverage

- **Construction is about to start.** Ask which entity and project property the construction-stage form lists, and what dates mark the handoff to permanent coverage.
- **Components are shipping to site.** Compare inland marine terms for transit, on-site storage and installation with the fixed-location property you’ll buy later.
- **The project is commissioning.** Separate the developer’s project equipment from installer-owned tools and test gear, and confirm whose interest the terms describe.
- **An inverter failure would stop generation.** Ask whether breakdown terms name the inverter and failure, and what trigger, waiting period and limit apply to lost income.
- **You’re sending crews to install or service.** Give the broker field duties, states and whether the site connects to a distribution system, then check classifications.

## Common questions

Also known as solar insurance, solar company insurance, solar installer insurance, solar farm insurance, renewable energy insurance, energy company insurance and battery storage insurance.

### What does solar installer insurance include?

Installers usually carry general liability and workers’ compensation, plus inland marine for panels and tools in transit. Developers and owners add builders’ risk, property and equipment breakdown. Spot matches each to your project’s stage.

### Which lost income do we list if an inverter fails?

Describe expected generation receipts separately from installation or service fees. Spot then asks whether proposed business-income wording addresses the named failure.

### Does builders’ risk carry over into operations?

Don’t assume it does. Construction-stage and permanent property terms are often separate, and the switch date matters. We have the broker point to the wording for your project.

### Does product liability cover underperformance?

Don’t expect it to. Products and completed-operations terms can address bodily injury and property damage, which is a different question from lost performance or revenue. Spot keeps them apart.

### Which project records should we send?

Send asset lists with owners and values, the project schedule, contracts, crew duties and locations. Your Spot team writes the project submission around them.

### Can we keep the broker who places our project insurance?

Yes. Spot works alongside them and takes no commissions on premiums. If a larger project has outgrown their markets, Spot can help you switch.
