Professional Indemnity
A professional liability insurance for a solar business insurance provides cover for pure financial loss caused by the insured. After all, professional mistakes can be made in consultancy work.
The consequence of a professional error can lead to the following three types of damage:
- Wealth loss (financial loss)
- Property damage (damage to property of third parties)
- Personal injury (physical or mental damage)
Why should I take out a professional indemnity insurance?
As an entrepreneur in the solar panel industry, you can be held liable for various reasons. A few examples are listed below:
- A technical consultancy makes a calculation error as a result of which the roof on which the solar power installation is located collapses;
- When you, as an entrepreneur, forget to arrange something for your customer;
- You engage a consultancy that produces a report. You are misinterpreting that report, giving the wrong advice to your customer.
If you are held liable, you will receive a claim for damages from the other party. In most cases, this claim for compensation will not be too bad, but you must also take into account legal costs for the defence. These costs can be high. Professional liability insurance protects your assets.
