Damage to solar from so-called Natural Catastrophe events is increasing as the technology expands its reach and weather conditions worsen.

The insurance industry must adapt to evolving risks to head off a 'protection gap' that could undermine the global green energy transition.

US-based climate insurance provider kWh Analytics has launched a new renewable energy insurance cover for extreme weather events.

Insurer kWh Analytics has been awarded US$500,000 to develop a 'tax credit insurance product' for the distributed renewable energy sector.

PV modelling relies on the assumption of 99% availability for forecasting, but the adoption of a more realistic metric would improve finances.

The increase in frequency, severity and range of severe weather events is having a growing impact on renewable projects year-round.

As a fast-growing segment of the industry, floating solar is also a novel technology that comes with a variety of new operational risks.

US insurer kWh Analytics has released its latest Solar Risk Assessment report, which explores how extreme weather is affecting solar farms.

FTC Solar has launched its Automated Hail Stow Solution, an automated programme to stow PV modules ahead of hailstorms.

"Why do my insurance premiums keep rising, even though I haven't had a claim?" The answer lies in the landscape of natural catastrophe risk.
