New data suggests the traditional assumptions behind hail stow modelling may be underestimating the likelihood of damage to a PV system.

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

Hail accounts for 73% of financial losses for US solar PV projects, despite representing just 6% of the total number of loss incidents.

PV Tech Premium spoke with Geoffrey Lehv of kWh Analytics about cybersecurity, AI and solar project underperformance.

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.

Insurer kWh Analytics has launched a US$2.4 million initiative to “develop innovative approaches” to improve the resilience of PV projects.

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.
