Solar Panel Insurance

Hi, we've just purchased some solar panels and wondered what insurance would be required to protect them against damage or theft. Any help appreciated, thanks.

    If they are fixed to your home are they not covered under your household buildings insurance?

    They are not fixed but secured on free standing stands in the garden, these are attached to a fence with locks and chains, no-one can just come in and take them, it is more the damage we are worried about. We live in a rented property so dont want to fix the panels to the roof. Thankfully we live in a small town and are lucky if we see 10 people a day, but you never know what could happen.
