Solarvest, QBE, Anora sign MOU to offer solar investment insurance

The product will allow coverage of consequential loss due to damages on property during PV installation.

Solarvest Holdings Berhad, QBE Insurance (Malaysia) Berhad, and Anora Agency Sdn Bhd signed a memorandum of understanding for the offering of insurance policy to solar investors.

In a joint statement, they said that Solarvest will be offering to investors the SolarPro Line-Stoppage insurance policy, which is a comprehensive general liability policy with consequential losses underwritten by QBE Malaysia through Anora.

The policy will provide protection for solar photovoltaic (PV) investors and property owners through allowing for coverage of consequential loss due to accidents or damages to the property during and after the installation, or construction of the PV system, which is not covered by ordinary comprehensive general liability policies, the statement read.

“With this in place, we believe it will strengthen the value proposition of our engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning work, and help us in further building our formidable unbilled orderbook of over $143.3m (RM600m),” Solarvest Group CEO Davis Chong said.

They said the product was designed in response to the liberalisation of solar power distribution in Malaysia and the following influx of power purchase agreements. Under the new regulations, PV investors can install the systems and sell energy directly to private entities which usually requires the installation of PV systems on the property of the energy buyer.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
