Qixent Debuts Sunshine Guarantee at RE+ Las Vegas -- Data-Backed Protection for Solar Buyers

Embedded coverage from Qixent delivers automatic payouts, boosts sales, and builds confidence for solar panel owners

CHICAGO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Qixent, a Chicago-based insurtech, today announced the launch of Sunshine Guarantee, the first third-party backed embedded protection program for solar panel owners. By merging parametric technology with an embedded delivery model, Qixent is introducing a modern, scalable solution that addresses key challenges in the solar industry and provides tangible benefits for both retailers and owners.

The product will officially debut at the RE+ conference in Las Vegas, one of the largest and most influential events in the clean energy sector. At the conference, Sunshine Guarantee will demonstrate how automatic payouts and real-time data integration can transform solar sales conversations, ease buyer hesitations, and provide retailers with a stronger closing tool. Sunshine Guarantee compensates solar panel owners if their systems receive less sunshine than forecasted, removing uncertainty and delivering confidence. This assurance enables retailers to achieve conversion rates up to 30% higher while giving buyers certainty that their investment is protected.

The program runs on Qixent's AI-native exchange platform, purpose-built to accelerate the delivery of modern insurance products. It is powered by Exante's parametric technology, which uses trusted satellite data and predictive models to trigger payouts based on actual environmental conditions. Together, the systems ensure payouts are objective, data-driven, and automatic. They remove the need for manual claims, reduce friction for both retailers and panel owners, and deliver a seamless, hassle-free experience that points to the future of insurance.

"Sunshine Guarantee shows what's possible when insurance is automated, data-driven, and built into the customer experience," said Randel Bennett, CEO of Qixent. "By guaranteeing solar performance, we remove risk for solar panel owners. We also give retailers a powerful tool to close more deals, faster. It's about changing how insurance supports clean energy adoption—making it invisible, reliable, and embedded directly into the buying journey."

For solar retailers, the program requires no hardware, no paperwork, and no additional operational burden. Retailers simply integrate Sunshine Guarantee into their sales process, and the system runs automatically in the background. For solar panel owners, it provides true peace of mind, ensuring returns even during seasons or years with below-average sunshine. The result is a stronger value proposition for retailers and a more confident decision-making process for buyers.

Industry leaders are already responding with enthusiasm and recognizing the program's potential to accelerate adoption across the solar market. "An innovative product directly aligned with solar retailers' customer acquisition goals," said Andrew Linhares, Senior Manager at SEIA. "This is the type of solution that can help accelerate deployment by addressing one of the core objections in solar sales—performance uncertainty."

"At Exante, we're redefining how insurance supports the clean energy transition," said Aidan Breen, Co-Founder of Exante. "The Sunshine Guarantee gives solar retailers and installers a powerful new tool to build customer confidence by turning objective environmental data into fast, automated payouts. It's a simple way to remove uncertainty, unlock sales, and accelerate renewable energy adoption. This is what parametric insurance was made for."
