Amazing service, efficient, reliable and most of all...stress free. Dani, you are a star, thank you so much for sorting my new policies. A very different and better experience to that had with my previous Broker. Keep up the great work.
Danielle has been an absolute blessing for us. She reached out to me after seeing a disheartened and desperate comment by me in an online group. We had desperately been searching for coverage for our dream property in Tasmania - two other brokers (including a huge company with offices all over the country) had exhausted their options and not been able to help, and settlement was looming. Danielle was professional but also very friendly, warm and reassuring during my stressing out, and I knew she was going above and beyond to get this done! She kept me in the loop every step of the way...and succeeded in getting us a policy within a matter of days! I am so, so grateful, and cannot recommend her highly enough! She is amazing at what she does and is a genuinely wonderful human too!
It was so refreshing to have someone take the time to explain the important clauses of the professional indemnity insurance. The customisation was really good. Would highly recommend.
Danielle at SOL Insurance is amazing! Was a huge support during a really busy time when our insurances had lapsed and another broker hadn’t found a suitable alternative. Dani kept on top of things and acted fast to get us cover, and with a solid price point compared to what I had found with my own enquiries. Will absolutely use Dani again having come highly recommended to us, and I’d gladly recommend SOL insurance to others.
Danielle is fantastic. Very efficient and she got me an excellent quote/insurance. I highly recommend her, if you are like me a small business that has to cover insurance.

Solar installation combines working at height on roofs with electrical connection work, where a mistake can mean a roof leak, a fire risk or a system that doesn’t perform as promised. Whether you’re installing residential rooftop systems or larger commercial arrays, Sol Insurance Brokers can help you explore cover options that reflect the risk you actually carry.

Important: The information provided on this page is general in nature and does not take into account your individual circumstances. Insurance cover, terms, conditions and exclusions vary between insurers and policies. Your insurance requirements will depend on your business activities, contracts, assets and individual circumstances. Please refer to the relevant policy wording and documentation for full details of cover. The risks listed above are general examples only, for illustrative purposes, and do not confirm that your individual policy will respond to any particular claim.
Cover can generally be structured around the mix of residential and commercial work you do. Let us know the range of jobs you take on and we can help you look at options that fit.
Tools, equipment and plant cover can include theft and accidental damage, and in some cases stock on site can be considered as part of your cover. Conditions may apply, so it’s worth checking policy wording.
Subcontracted work can generally be considered when structuring your cover. Let us know the head contractor’s or retailer’s insurance requirements and we can help you explore options that meet them.
Public and products liability can respond to claims for property damage arising from your work, including damage that becomes apparent after the job is complete, subject to policy terms and conditions.
Cover can generally be structured to reflect both the roof-based and electrical aspects of solar installation. Let us know your licensing and scope of work and we can help you look at options that fit.
It may be relevant where you’re responsible for work in progress, such as a larger commercial array partway through. Contract works can help protect eligible installation work against insured events such as theft, fire and storm, subject to policy terms.
