This week I am delighted to welcome Vincent LePore and James Bowen from Energetic Insurance.
Energetic Insurance have created a first-of- its-kind credit insurance policy covering payment default risk on commercial solar energy projects..
Now if that sounds like a mouth-full, don't worry because all will be explained...
