Solar panels are a much more common sight today than ten years ago. They are used across the UK in commercial and domestic property environments as well as on solar farms, premises dedicated to generating electricity through solar energy. Massed together solar panels can produce huge amounts of electricity and store it effectively. However, if you run one of these businesses it still needs protecting and specialist solar farm insurance offers this protection for your development.

Solar energy has become a key renewable energy source on a global scale. The UK government has committed to generating up to 12% of all power in the country by renewable sources by 2020 and this will include solar as a key player. As the owner or facilitator of solar panels and solar farming premises, you could play a key role in this so keeping your business safe financially is of even higher priority.
