Specialty Internship: Lifecycle of a Photovoltaic

vor 1 Woche

Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz Swiss RE Vollzeit

Solar Infrastructure
By some estimates more than USD 10bn will be invested in renewable energy infrastructure over the next decade.
Solar infrastructure, notably PV panels, is widely expected to become the largest renewable electricity production capacity, along with wind-farming.

Today the market is dominated by a few highly coordinated PV panel manufacturers, however the technology is constantly evolving, and the global logistics chain involved in bringing panels to site and their installation is long and sophisticated.

With the ESG impacts of the full lifecycle of a PV panel currently unknown, and significant technological development underway, we believe it is both relevant and exciting to investigate the lifecycle of key renewable energies and any implications.

This work will help craft our approach to this sector, with the strive to support the transition to net zero and make the world more resilient.


About the Role
This internship will work with on a lifecycle perspective of a Pphotovoltaic panel, with responsibilities grouped around the following topics:

  • Outline of the PV Panel lifecycle
  • Risk analysis of:
  • The various PV technologies and key manufacturers as to their risk management factors and criticalities
  • Impact of loss experience in recent years
  • Failure analysis due to manmade exposures and Cat perils to help improvements for cost modelling
  • Review of available insurance protections to identify any "protection gaps"
The internship will be for 4-6 months, starting Spring 2023

About the Team

The applicant will be embedded within the Renewable Energy Centre of Competence ("CoC") in our Specialty business, working to agreed deadlines.

You will report to the global head of Specialty Solutions and be part of our innovation network, working closely with experts and leaders in our underwriting and risk engineering services teams, all part of Swiss Re's Specialty business.

Your position will be based in Zurich.
