ALETHEA I, a 3 MW Solar power plant in Burlington County, New Jersey. Operated by SYNCARPHA ALETHEA I, LLC, commissioned 2011.
Weather peril exposure
ALETHEA I is a 3 MW solar power plant in Burlington County, NJ, operated by SYNCARPHA ALETHEA I, LLC, commissioned in 2011. Burlington County carries low modeled catastrophe exposure in the FEMA National Risk Index, scoring 1.7 of 5 at the 17th national percentile. Strong wind is the leading peril, rated Very High by FEMA at the 85th percentile.

| Peril | FEMA rating | National percentile | Peril score | Share of modeled loss | Events per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strong wind | Very High | 85th | 4.4 of 5 | 25% | 5.5 |
| Riverine flooding | Relatively High | 79th | 4.2 of 5 | 20% | 3.2 |

Hail exposure and deductible structure
Hail scores 1.3 of 5, which sits in the 1% to 2% percentage deductible range carriers are quoting for that exposure. Named windstorm and severe convective wind score 4.4 of 5, indicating a 2% to 5% wind deductible. Ranges, not single figures. The final structure is set by the carrier.
Percentage hail deductible range: 1% to 2% of insured value. Wind deductible range: 2% to 5%. These are the structures commonly seen at this exposure, not an offer and not a rate.
Modeled annual loss for a 3 MW solar array
At an assumed replacement value of $0.90 per watt, or $2.5M insured, the modeled expected annual loss for a fixed tilt ground mount array in Burlington County is $737 a year, $263 per MW, 0.03% of insured value.
Heat is modeled as a production risk rather than a property loss: 0.0% of annual yield in this county.
Insurability signal: Standard. Named windstorm and severe wind at 4.4 of 5.
Model hail, wind and flood exposure for Burlington County in the weather risk calculator
Ratings are the FEMA National Risk Index county hazard ratings; the peril score is a Bywatts transform of the FEMA national percentile, and the modeled loss applies the Bywatts solar vulnerability layer. Full data sources and the solar vulnerability methodology are in the weather risk calculator.
Modeled estimate for screening and negotiation. Built from FEMA National Risk Index county hazard data and a solar vulnerability layer documented above. Not a quote, a binder, or actuarial advice, and not a substitute for a carrier's own model. Hazard data: FEMA National Risk Index December 2025, synced 2026-07-24. Resolution is county level, not site level. The solar vulnerability layer that turns FEMA building loss into modeled solar loss was derived by Bywatts and revised on physical reasoning.
