Sola Insurance

Tornado insurance with EF-based payouts

Overview

Sola Insurance provides tornado-damage coverage for property owners through the Tornado Crisis Policy, which covers up to $15,000 in out-of-pocket costs (such as deductibles) incurred due to tornado damage. The policy uses National Weather Service data to assess damage and determine eligibility and payout amounts, with payouts based on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale—the higher the EF level at a property, the higher the payout. Revenue comes from policy premiums. The company emphasizes fast, proactive payouts and a streamlined, transparent claims process. It differentiates itself by offering data-driven, EF-scale-based payouts that directly reduce clients’ deductible costs, addressing gaps left by traditional insurance. Its goal is to help clients recover faster after a disaster by providing clear financial protection and quick, predictable payments.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • $8M Series A funding in 2025 fuels expansion beyond tornadoes to wind and hail coverage.
  • Broker partnerships with Hanby, OKC, and Peoples drive distribution in Midwest and Southeast.
  • Originates from 2020 Chattanooga tornado gaps, positioning as Aflac-like supplemental plan.

What critics are saying

  • Payout discrepancies between NAIC $2,000-$15,000 and site $5,000-$25,000 spark lawsuits in 3-6 months.
  • Canopy Weather's parametric wind/hail product captures market share in 12-18 months.
  • NWS 2025 Oklahoma misratings delay payouts, draining cash reserves in 6-12 months.

What makes Sola Insurance unique

  • Sola's Tornado Crisis Policy covers up to $25,000 out-of-pocket costs using NWS EF-scale data.
  • Proactive NWS-triggered contacts enable payouts within 3-5 days without claims history impact.
  • First admitted parametric tornado insurance via Beazley and Spinnaker partnerships in 15 states.
