In today's world, alternative power solutions are gaining popularity as individuals and companies recognise the importance of sustainability and the need to mitigate the challenges of load shedding in South Africa specificially.
These solutions, including portable inverters, solar systems with batteries, and other renewable energy equipment, offer a reliable and eco-friendly source of energy, reducing reliance on finite and polluting resources.
Barker Insurance understands the significance of renewable energy and the role it plays in creating a more sustainable future. This is why we encourage our clients to adopt renewable energy at home and provide comprehensive insurance coverage for their alternative power solutions.
Here's how you can ensure proper coverage for your Alternative Power Solution:
Notify us and add the value: Inform us about the addition of alternative power solutions to your property. This applies to both portable inverters and solar systems with batteries. By notifying us, we can add the value of the system to your existing insurance coverage, ensuring comprehensive protection.
Provide documentation: To accurately assess the value of your alternative power solution, we require supporting documentation such as invoices or statements indicating the cost of the system. This documentation helps us determine the appropriate coverage for your specific system.
Provide a Certificate of Compliance: In addition to the value documentation, we also require a certificate of compliance. This ensures that your alternative power solution has been installed and maintained according to safety standards and regulations. It serves as further validation for insuring your system adequately.
By following these steps and collaborating with us, you can enjoy the benefits of sustainable energy while protecting against potential damage or loss.
Adequate insurance coverage ensures that in the event of an unforeseen incident, such as a natural disaster or accidental damage, you will be able to recover and restore your alternative power system without bearing a significant financial burden.
Further to our efforts in promoting environmental sustainability, we encourage clients to consider "green" building products when submitting equipment replacement claims, which are more energy-efficient, reduce water usage, minimise waste, and create a healthier environment.
By making conscious choices, we can collectively make a difference in creating a greener future.
