PowerGuard is the largest provider of an innovative 25-year, non-cancellable quality and performance guarantee solution to back up a solar module manufacturer's own warranty terms. Guaranteeing warranty terms through the use of insurance provides the certainty manufacturers and their customers seek, as well as long-term stability for the industry.

The PowerGuard solution – available through EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants and other top retail insurance brokers globally - provides certainty and security to the solar manufacturer's end customers, with warranty terms that are non-cancellable - surviving even insolvency and bankruptcy. Third-party rights to the policy in case the original solar manufacturer goes out of business are also offered, backed by the capital strength of top rated insurers.
