THE PANEL PANEL
Following a recent CBC report about solar panels affecting coverage,
we're looking to get ahead of the issue by putting educational material
together for brokers. We'd love to talk to members about your
experience insuring solar panels and any issues you've encountered.
Advice we receive from our network will help us prepare educational
tools for brokers-please contact us if you have experiences or info
to share.
