[RE-wrenches] Insurance for consulting.

2022-06-24 Thread Luke Christy via RE-wrenches 
Hi Wrenches,
Like many of you, I have been in PV industry a long time. I have focused on 
design-build operations in the off-grid realm. In recent years I have started 
shifting toward doing more consulting work, and having picked up a few high 
value clients, I am feeling the need to revisit my insurance and add 
professional liability insurance in addition to my GL policy. This has proved a 
little more difficult than expected, as my current underwriter does not offer a 
professional liability policy for our class of business and, and our local 
insurance agent is kind of out of their depth with respect to this anyway. I am 
a solo practitioner and don’t really represent a large account for my insurance 
company, so there’s little incentive for them to work hard to find me a good 
solution. 

I suspect that many Wrenches are or have been in a similar situation, so I’m 
wondering if anyone has advice/or comments on their experience with these 
issues.  If you’ve had positive experience with a particular underwriter or 
insurance company for solar consulting work, that would be information I’d love 
to hear. 

This is probably a reply-off-list topic.

Thanks in advance.
