In the new report, Allianz Commercial risk consultants identify some of the potential hazards posed by solar PV installations and highlight best practice for loss prevention and risk mitigation.
Despite offering modularity and low cost of generation advantages, the projects suffer overruns and often fail to deliver the desired performances. However, limited studies are available on investigating solar power project risks and their impact on project performances, primarily based on empirical evidence.
Demand for solar power is rising in a context of high energy prices and the drive towards a low-carbon future. But, as a new Emerging Risk Trend Talk report from Allianz Commercial highlights, the installation of solar photovoltaic panels introduces risks that must be mitigated if the potential of this power source is to be safely harnessed.
Building on flood plains for example could mean that the solar farm is at risk of flooding or water damage. Building near archaeological sites also presents risks which would be reflected in higher insurance premiums. 5.
As solar power gains prominence over the coming years it’s important that the standardisation of testing, energy conversion, use of materials, and health and safety practices are applied consistently across the sector if we want to reduce the risks involved in the harvesting of green energy, and see these installations achieve their full potential.
Installing solar panels can reduce a company’s energy costs, demonstrate its commitment to sustainability, and create energy independence.

generation in countries such as Spain, where solar FITs have been cut drastically5, has led to so-called ^policy risk becoming an increasing concern for investors in renewable generation, where governments or regulators can unilaterally reduce levels of support by changing either the policy or its application.
New solar energy generation is drastically needed as a source of clean electricity as the U.S. and the globe make the transition away from fossil fuels. Yet, even as solar costs have dramatically declined, solar sources still provide less than 5% of global electricity. We examine issues in solar policy leading to this low adoption rate.

Determination of Hazards and Risks in a Solar Power Plant Using the Matrix Risk Analysis. European Journal of Science and Technology, (23), 497-511. Abstract Electric power generation from renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy is an alternative option to energy generation from fosil flues.
Solar power generation is intrinsically linked to sunlight availability. Consequently, incorporating data from all 24 h of the day might introduce bias due to omitted variables. This bias can stem not only from the inclusion of nighttime hours, even with hourly fixed effects, but also from seasonal variations in daylight duration.
