It’s a multiline package for small to medium ground mounted photovoltaic solar, and onshore wind, which are either being constructed or already operational. The minimum size is 500 KW energy output. The maximum size risk we are targeting on our Ignite platform is up to £50m sum insured / contract value, and in addition up to £10m business interruption / delay in start up.

Yes. Our product is designed to cover both the construction and operational phases of a risk.

  • If your risk is already operational you can select an operational quote

  • If your risk is in the planning stage for construction you can select a construction quote.

Alongside every construction quote we will provide a quotation for year one operations. You can choose to bind construction only or construction with year one operations.

By binding year one operations cover now you lock in today’s rates. Your construction schedule will be issued and construction premium invoiced now and your operational schedule will be issued and operational premium invoiced when the risk reaches practical completion. Your maintenance period will also start then.

We know this happens and have designed our product and Ignite journey so you can easily manage this online.
