• Free, no obligation quotes
• Flexible cover options
• Get advice on the right insurance for your business

As the demand for clean energy solutions grows, so does the need for skilled installers. Whether you’re working on residential solar panels or commercial wind turbines, it’s essential to understand the insurance requirements that protect both your business and your clients. At BJP Insurance, we have years of experience advising contractors on getting the right insurance for their business. Working with emerging technology presents a number of unique challenges, but we are on hand to help with all of your insurance requirements.

While no two businesses are exactly the same, there are a number of types of business insurance that you are likely to need to consider as a renewable energy contractor:

Product Liability Insurance for clean energy installers

It is likely that you supply some or all of the equipment that you install and maintain for clients. Should a product that you have provided be subsequently found to not be fit for purpose, you may find yourself liable for its replacement – as well as the cost of rework in fitting. Product liability insurance can protect you from costs in just such circumstances.

Cover can be arranged where you supply:

• Ground source heat pumps
• Air source heat pumps
• Rainwater harvesting equipment
• Under floor heating
• Solar panels

As well as a range of other specialist products from wind turbines through to Biomass energy systems.

Professional Indemnity Insurance for renewable energy installers

No matter whether you work on domestic properties installing solar panels or ground source heat pumps, or work maintenance on a wind farm, you are likely to offer professional advice and insight to your clients. In your capacity as the ‘expert on site’ you may find yourself being held accountable if your advice is deemed to have been negligent. Professional indemnity insurance can protect you from costs in relation to claims of negligence, defamation and breach of confidence or copyright.

Other insurance considerations for energy contractors:

Public Liability Insurance

While not a legal requirement, taking out an appropriate level of Public Liability Insurance is likely to be viewed positively by clients. It’s also a requirement (along with PI and EL) if you are a member of the Renewable Energy Consumer Code (RECC).

Employers Liability Insurance

A legal requirement in the UK where you have anyone working under your instruction. It protects you from costs where a worker claims to have suffered injury, illness or a loss as a consequence of their work with you.
