The recent changes in the Obama administration have influenced many contractors in going green and commercial general liability insurers are following suit. Mainline Insurance Services, Inc and Sullivan Brokers have teamed up to provide lower insurance premiums for commercial general liability insurance policies to roofing contractors. Solar energy is the way of the future and commercial insurers are crediting those roofing contractors who install solar panels.
"Insurance companies are continually finding ways to lower insurance premiums for roofing contractors" says Alekhine, Managing Underwriter for roofing contractors at Sullivan Brokers. "The Federal Government is providing millions and millions of dollars for greener energy solutions. This is a great opportunity for roofing contractors to take advantage of this money and lower rates for insurance premiums." Roofing contractors have been paying substantially hire insurance rates for many years. The new proposal made by Lloyds of London suggests lower premiums for roofing contractors who are involved in the solar energy industry. “The roofing contractor that normally pays say, $15,000 for re-roofing operations may pay 50% less with the new green program offered by Lloyds of London simply by adding solar installation to his repertoire.”
Here is an example of a solar roofing contractor that was just offered a commercial general liability insurance policy:
