Does my home insurance cover hail damage to solar panels?
Does my home insurance cover hail damage to solar panels?
In most cases, yes. Solar panels are generally treated as part of the building structure and covered under home and contents policies.
Three things worth doing. Check your policy lists hail as a covered peril. Check the replacement value limit reflects current system costs. Document your system with photos and serial numbers before storm season.
One exclusion to know about: gradual performance degradation from microcrack damage isn’t covered by insurance claims.
