Will going solar affect my insurance?

Residential solar energy installations are typically covered as part of a standard homeowner’s policy, according the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).

Homeowner insurance typically offers protection against certain risks — often called perils — such as theft or damage from wind or fire. Check with your agent to learn whether your policy provides coverage and to discuss any variables — for instance, roof-mounted vs. ground-mounted panels — that may affect your coverage.
