Solar Insure has launched SI-Commercial, a new warranty solution to protect commercial solar projects. The company has also expanded its approved vendor list (AVL) to include more global inverter manufacturers for the commercial market.
SI-Commercial is designed for commercial solar systems up to 2 MWDC and delivers long-term protection aligned with the realities of commercial project timelines, ownership structures and risk profiles. The warranty provides 30 years of panel coverage, 20 years of inverter coverage and includes parts and labor for covered repairs, complementing the gaps left by standard manufacturer warranties.
As part of the launch, Solar Insure has expanded its AVL to include the following manufacturers for commercial systems: Chint Power Systems (CPS), Hoymiles, SMA, SolarEdge, Solis, APsystems and Enphase. These additions expand equipment flexibility for commercial installers while maintaining Solar Insure’s strict AVL qualification standards focused on performance durability, manufacturer stability, and long-term serviceability.
Commercial solar projects introduce longer lifecycles, higher capital exposure, and increased scrutiny from financiers, property owners, and procurement teams. SI-Commercial was built to meet those expectations by shifting long-tail service and manufacturer risk off installers’ balance sheets and onto a structured, insurance-backed framework.
“Commercial solar demands a different level of accountability,” said Ara Agopian, CEO of Solar Insure. “SI-Commercial was built to meet those realities by providing bankable protection that aligns with how commercial projects are sold and maintained. It reinforces project bids, preserves margins, and gives every stakeholder confidence in the asset long after commissioning.”
Every SI-Commercial warranty includes manufacturer default protection, backed by an AM Best A+ rated insurance carrier, ensuring coverage continuity in the event of manufacturer insolvency.
For installers expanding into or scaling within commercial solar, SI-Commercial provides a material advantage in competitive environments. By bundling long-term equipment and labor protection into a single, transferable warranty, installers can reduce future service exposure, simplify warranty administration, and present a more credible, finance-ready offering to commercial buyers.
“SI-Commercial isn’t about adding another line item to your proposal,” said Dean Chiaravallotti, Chief Revenue Officer at Solar Insure. “It’s about changing the risk conversation. Installers can lead with value, asset owners gain long-term certainty, and projects become easier to finance and defend over decades.”
