The story
Solar Insure started in 2006 as a warranty product for residential solar and has evolved into a vertical SaaS platform for installers — combining 20–30-year warranty coverage (backed by Zurich North America) with fleet monitoring (Daybreak), claims/invoicing workflow, and an installer marketplace. The embedded-finance surface is intentionally narrow: insurance-backed warranties are the core financial product, with distribution partnerships into solar lenders (Sunlight Financial) rather than owned banking/lending rails.
