Why now
- US solar capacity is set to grow by 86 GW in 2026, increasing exposure to severe storms.
- Severe convective storms caused $46 billion in losses in 2025, highlighting risk urgency.
- Larger, complex solar projects in catastrophe-prone areas require advanced risk modeling.
Why it matters
- Improves risk assessment and pricing for insurers covering US solar projects.
- Supports financial resilience of solar assets in storm-prone regions.
- Addresses growing exposure as US solar capacity rapidly expands.

Recurring claims
- Severe convective storms cause significant financial losses to US solar projects, with hail driving the majority of losses despite fewer incidents.
- The US is expected to add 86 GW of utility-scale solar capacity in 2026, much of it in storm-prone regions.
