Through the years we are more engaged in protecting the environment by "going green"  Did you know that the number of solar panels on roofs has been increasing by 50% every year since 2010? This webinar aims to help you learn more on how to scrutinize the risks of roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar panels. A forensic review of several cases has revealed that all risks associated with solar systems may not be fully understood by the owners, insurers, or other involved parties.

WEBINAR OBJECTIVES

• Statistical review of renewable energy-power
• Identify solar panel types and systems 
• Review general risks associated with solar panel installation
• Discuss environmental risks
• Examine fire risks
• Outline best practice for solar projects
• Explore chain of liabilities and subrogation opportunities
