Just over a year after Astronergy and Munich Re signed a contract to cover Astronergy’s crystalline-silicon PV modules, the two companies have revealed a new agreement that sees the reinsurer covering all crystalline-silicon PV modules sold by Astronergy as of January 1, 2011. The new contract additionally calls for Munich Re to back-up the performance warranties Astronergy issues against excessive power loss over the next 25 years.

It is of note that the insurance agreement apparently does not cover Astronergy’s micromorph thin-film silicon products, but does include the entire 2011 and 2012 production volume of the company’s crystalline-silicon modules.
