As the solar and storage industry continues to grow, so does the complexity of your projects—and the risks that come with them. Whether you’re installing rooftop solar panels or managing battery storage systems, the right insurance coverage for solar contractors isn’t optional—it’s essential.
At Conexus Insurance Partners, we specialize in providing tailored insurance solutions for solar and storage installers. From small residential crews to commercial EPCs, we understand your business and the unique risks you face on and off the job site.

- Third-party liability claims
- Property damage
- Equipment loss
- Injuries to workers or subcontractors
- Missed coverage requirements on bids or job sites

📌 FAQ: Do Solar Contractors Need Professional Liability Insurance?
Yes—especially if you’re involved in design, consulting, or system layout. This coverage helps protect your business if there’s a claim related to an error in your work, even if the system performs poorly or underdelivers due to non-installation-related factors.
