How does the PV Performance Cover Application work?

The process is simple and clear:

Initial Risk Assessment
It starts with a comprehensive assessment of your project, including the technology used, contracts, suppliers, and financial expectations.

Non-Binding Indication (NBI)
Based on the risk assessment, the insurer provides a non-binding indication of coverage options, including deductibles, policy limits, and a premium estimate.

Letter of Intent (LOI)
Once you decide to proceed, the NBI is converted into a Letter of Intent, detailing more specific terms. The underwriting process then begins.

Binding Offer
After thorough review and analysis, you will receive a final offer with all conditions, details, and the policy structure.

Policy Execution
The final steps include negotiating the policy wording, issuing the policy, and paying the insurance premium, so your coverage becomes effective and your investment is optimally protected.
