About SolarInsureUS

Independent solar insurance experts helping US homeowners protect their solar investments since 2012.

Our Story

SolarInsureUS was founded in 2012, when solar adoption was just beginning its exponential climb across the United States. Our team noticed a troubling pattern: homeowners were installing thousands of dollars of solar equipment without understanding whether — or how well — their existing insurance covered it.

After a California wildfire destroyed a neighbor's newly installed $28,000 solar system — only to discover the coverage was inadequate and the claim was disputed — Michael left traditional underwriting to build an independent resource for solar homeowners.

Today, SolarInsureUS has helped over 180,000 US solar homeowners understand their coverage, compare quotes, and find policies that actually protect their investment.

Our Independence Promise

SolarInsureUS is an independent comparison service. We are not owned by, affiliated with, or financially controlled by any insurance company. We do not accept payment to rank any insurer higher than it deserves. Our revenue comes from referral fees paid by insurers when consumers request quotes — but these fees do not influence our editorial rankings or coverage recommendations.

Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial partnerships. All insurer reviews are based on actual policy analysis, claims data, and consumer surveys — not on paid relationships.

Our Research Process

Every guide on SolarInsureUS follows a rigorous research process:

1. We obtain actual policy documents from each insurer — not just marketing materials
2. We call claims departments to test responsiveness and knowledge
3. We survey real solar homeowners who have filed claims
4. We interview licensed insurance agents in each state we cover
5. We update all guides at least quarterly to reflect market changes

Our Editorial Policy

SolarInsureUS publishes independent insurance research and comparison content. Our editorial process follows these standards:

• No paid rankings: Insurers cannot pay to appear higher in our rankings or comparison tables. Rankings are based solely on coverage quality, claims satisfaction data (J.D. Power, NAIC), and premium competitiveness.
• Affiliate disclosure: Some links are referral links — we may earn a fee when you request quotes through them. This is paid by the comparison platform, not you, and never influences our editorial ratings or written opinions. All affiliate relationships are disclosed at point of use.
• Not insurance advice: SolarInsureUS content is for informational and educational purposes only. We are not licensed insurance agents. Nothing on this site constitutes insurance advice. Always consult a licensed professional before purchasing coverage.
• Accuracy commitment: All guides are reviewed and updated quarterly. When insurers change their solar coverage terms or pricing, we update the affected pages within 30 days.
• Source standards: Premium estimates are derived from our own quote research, insurer filings, and consumer surveys. We do not publish estimates without a verifiable basis.

Corrections Policy

If you find a factual error in our content, please contact us with the specific claim and your source. We review all correction requests within 5 business days. Confirmed errors are corrected with an editorial note at the bottom of the affected page.

Premium range estimates are reviewed and updated quarterly and are labeled with the research year.

How We Make Money

SolarInsureUS earns revenue in two ways:

1. Referral fees: When visitors click our quote comparison links and request insurance quotes, we may receive a referral fee from the comparison platform (such as EverQuote). This is the standard revenue model for independent insurance comparison sites.
2. Display advertising: We display advertisements via Google AdSense. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.

Neither revenue stream influences our editorial content. Insurers we have no referral relationship with receive the same editorial treatment as those we do.
