Case Study: Comprehensive E&O Coverage Safeguards Solar Energy Consultancy

Aug 2024

The Context


A broker approached SWG for E&O coverage for a solar energy consultation business. The company provides advisory services on the best size and location for solar panels, led by a Red Seal Journeyman Master Electrician with 20 years of experience and membership in the Alberta Solar Association.

The Business Needs


The business required E&O coverage for their professional advice, as CGL policies typically cover only manual labor. Given the high value of the insured’s expertise, it was crucial to protect against potential claims and associated defense costs.

Our Solution


SWG’s underwriting team provided tailored E&O coverage to protect against negligent acts and cover defense costs. This ensured the business could continue offering valuable solar energy advice without the risk of financial loss from potential legal issues.
