House insurance solar panels
With LV= house buildings insurance your solar panels are automatically covered.
Using solar panels mounted to your property's roof is one of the ways you can generate power. Many people have opted to use solar thermal panels as an alternative to using gas or mains electricity to run their heating systems, seeing it as a cleaner, greener, renewable and more sustainable way to provide power. Others use solar photovoltaic panels, known as solar PV, to generate electricity from sunlight for their property.
While there's the initial cost of buying the panels and having them installed, the hope is that in time they will pay for themselves through the savings that are made in reduced electricity or gas bills. However, being attached to the outside of a property, solar panels are understandably exposed to the elements and the possibility of damage, and you should consider how you would meet the cost of repairs, or whether your home insurance provides cover for solar panels.
Getting house insurance for your solar panels
Repairing or replacing a damaged solar panel could be costly, but if you insure your property with LV= you can have the peace of mind of knowing that solar panels are automatically included as part of our buildings insurance features and benefits.
LV= buildings insurance provides cover for loss or damage to your solar panels, as well as wind turbines. You're covered against damage caused by events like fire, storm or lightning. And with some thieves now targeting solar panels, you can rest assured that with LV= buildings insurance there's also cover if someone steals the panel from your roof. Many panels now come with extra secure fastenings (or they can be bought additionally), while some owners have inscribed their postcodes or car registration numbers onto the panel to make stolen panels easier to identify.
