FAQs
What does cargo insurance typically cover during solar equipment transit?
Cargo insurance typically covers physical loss or damage to the equipment while it is in transit, from causes such as handling accidents, collision, and certain perils along the route, up to the insured shipment value. It closes the exposure gap between purchase and delivery when neither the seller's nor the buyer's own coverage clearly applies. Exact covered perils and exclusions depend on the policy terms for the shipment.
Is insurance arranged automatically or does it need to be requested per order?
Coverage is coordinated alongside the transaction and freight rather than left as a separate afterthought, so it can be arranged as part of the order. Whether it applies automatically or is added per shipment depends on the order and the coverage you want, which is confirmed when the shipment is set up. The point is to close the transit gap without bolting on a disconnected policy later.
Does insurance cover damage found after delivery but before installation?
Cargo coverage is generally tied to the transit window, so damage first occurring after delivery may fall outside it, though concealed damage from transit that is documented promptly can sometimes be covered depending on policy terms and inspection timing. This is why inspecting on receipt and noting any damage right away matters. Coverage for the post-delivery, pre-installation period would depend on the specific policy, which the arrangement can clarify.
