Shining Light on Solar Power System Claims Webinar Recording

When a solar power (photovoltaic) system stops producing energy, policyholders often assume the panels are damaged. Yet the issue may lie elsewhere in the system.
As solar installations become more common, so do related claims. Understanding how photovoltaic systems function can help adjusters look beyond the panels, avoid unnecessary replacements, and make more informed claim decisions.
Request the recording of Shining Light on Solar Power System Claims, presented by Alpine Intel Customer Education Director Jay Dykstra. By watching, you’ll learn:
- How residential photovoltaic systems work and why these claims are significant
- Which system components are most often involved in claims, including mounting equipment, micro- and string inverters, DC and AC disconnects, battery storage systems, and controllers
- How perils such as lightning, power surge, wind, hail, and foreign object impact can affect solar power equipment
Jay also walks through real-world claim scenarios, demonstrating how these concepts apply in practice.
