Going green is the best! Plus, we’ve got good news—your solar panels will be covered by your USAA
homeowners insurance. Once solar panels are installed, they’re considered part of the house. That means they’ll be covered if damaged by a named peril. A named peril is a sudden, unexpected damage that your home insurance covers.
If your solar panels aren’t attached to your roof but are still on your property, they’ll be covered under the additional structures portion of your policy.
That said, you’ll want to review your coverage limits to ensure that you have enough coverage if anything should happen to your solar panels.
