ACCURE partners with Protect Solar to deliver more favourable insurance conditions to BESS owners and operators

Aachen, Germany / Düsseldorf, Germany (April 2026) ACCURE Battery Intelligence, the leading provider of predictive battery analytics for owners and operators of grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) assets, today announced a partnership with Protect Solar, a specialist insurance broker focused on renewable energy assets, to support improved insurance conditions for BESS owners and operators.

Under the partnership, operators whose assets are monitored by ACCURE’s independent platform may benefit from preferential insurance conditions arranged through Protect Solar. By combining ACCURE’s continuous safety monitoring and early fault detection with Protect Solar’s insurance market expertise, the partnership creates a measurable financial benefit for operators who invest in proactive risk management.

ACCURE’s platform uses field data and analytics to detect irregular battery behaviour, identify elevated safety risks and enable early fault intervention, supporting corrective action before issues escalate. This approach provides a clear, independent view of asset performance and supports corrective action before issues escalate. For asset owners and operators, that transparency translates into stronger operational control and measurable value.

For insurers, evaluating BESS risk typically focuses on design specifications and the track record of the OEMs and contractors involved. Few tools exist that offer independent, continuous visibility into day-to-day asset performance. Integrating ACCURE’s monitoring data into the placement process allows Protect Solar to present a more complete and evidence-based view of operational risk. This added layer of safety monitoring and transparency supports the case for more favourable terms where advanced risk management is in place.

Protect Solar, founded in 2007, focuses on structuring insurance solutions for solar and BESS projects and works with utilities, developers, and EPCs across Europe and internationally. As BESS deployment has increased, the firm has expanded its work in this segment, with a focus on aligning technical risk understanding with insurance placement.

Ingo Mönninghoff, CEO, Protect Solar, said: “We see a clear shift in how BESS risk is being evaluated. BESS owners who can demonstrate proactive, data-backed safety management are in a fundamentally stronger position when it comes to how projects are presented to insurers. ACCURE’s independent monitoring provides exactly the kind of verified, continuous insight into operating data that enables us to better demonstrate how assets are managed and advocate for terms that reflect that.”

Timo Gollub, BESS Performance Expert, ACCURE Battery Intelligence, said: “Operating cost is a key lever for BESS owners looking to protect revenue. Insurance premiums are a major part of that. When operators can show that risks are identified and addressed early, it directly influences how assets are evaluated during underwriting. This partnership ensures that strong operational performance is reflected in improved insurance conditions, and therefore, better financial outcomes”

As the BESS market matures, insurers are placing more weight on demonstrated risk management rather than relying only on design specifications. Owners and operators who can show independent monitoring and documented operational controls are better positioned to secure competitive terms, reduce costs, and strengthen relationships with insurers, lenders, and investors.

For further information on eligibility, BESS owners and operators are encouraged to contact Protect Solar directly.
