Has anybody had any experience in this? Is it worthwhile/recommended to insure your solar system (massive investment). Is your system covered under general house insurance or would one have to specify your panels / inverters / batteries. should all components be insured or only some of the components like the inverter for example? would the insurance cost off set the savings in electricity costs so that it would make solar more expensive than Eskom / municipal in the long run.

any thoughts would be welcome and valued.

Many thanks

It's part of the structure of the house, so it goes on the building insurance policy. It's very affordable.

thanks plonskter

Double check with your broker / insurer.

They MAY balk at the increased risk without additional premium.

And ask them what you need, but a CoC is a very very good idea for the install.

Thanks triple T  - I was thinking the same thing

Yes you would need a Coc in order to insure it. And it goes under building insurance.
