What is solar insurance/takaful and why is it necessary in Pakistan?
A residential or commercial solar installation represents a substantial financial asset ranging from Rs 600,000 (July 2026) to over Rs 3,000,000 (July 2026).
Solar takaful provides Islamic shariah-compliant asset insurance safeguarding equipment mounted on exterior roofs against weather hazards, storm destruction, theft, and electrical fire damage.
Securing takaful coverage ensures that accidental damage or stolen panels do not cause severe unrecoverable financial losses.
