PowerGuard Specialty Insurance Services announces that leading Chinese solar manufacturer, LONG ENERGY (Shenglong, Suzhou Shenglong PV-Tech Co., Ltd.), a client of Marsh Los Angeles, has joined the growing number of China-based solar panel manufacturers to adopt PowerGuard's unique PowerClip extended warranty protection.
A specialty renewable energy Program Manager based in the United States, PowerGuard provides an innovative 25-year, non-cancellable quality and performance guarantee solution to back-up a manufacturer's own warranty terms.
Guaranteeing warranty terms through the use of insurance provides the certainty manufacturers and their customers look for, as well as long-term stability for the industry.
This insurance solution, conceived and underwritten by PowerGuard, offers back-to-back coverage for a 10-year limited product warranty as well as 10-year warranty for 90 percent power performance and an additional 15-year warranty for 80 percent performance for panels sold by LONG ENERGY and covered by the warranty.
Mike McMullen, managing principal of PowerGuard, says, "PowerGuard is proud that our innovative risk-transfer product is quickly gaining momentum with leading solar module manufacturers in China and around the world. PowerGuard will continue to support the expansion and success of the global renewable energy industry with unique, leading-edge products and services."
"The PowerGuard solution is an important way for solar panel producers to provide a greater degree of business certainty and allows developers of solar parks to finance photovoltaic installations more easily and with increased flexibility," states Ken Yang, client relationship manager of Marsh Los Angeles. "The solar panel manufacturing sector in Asia continues to grow rapidly, with China leading the way in terms of manufacturing output."
The PowerGuard solution, which is available directly from PowerGuard or through various retail brokers, provides certainty and security to the solar manufacturer's end customers. Its warranty terms are non-cancellable, surviving even insolvency and bankruptcy. Third-party rights to the policy, in case the original solar manufacturer goes out of business are also offered, and are backed by the capital strength of the insurance market.
