You have a few options.

d = {}
for name, filename, scale in sol1:
    model = loader.loadModelCopy("BasicPlanet2.egg")
    model.reparentTo(render)
    model.setScale(scale)
    model.setTexture(loader.loadTexture(filename), 1)
    d[name] = model

This will give you a dictionary (d) which has keys which are the
names, and values which are your models. There are lots of other
solution. You might also want to look at help(setattr).
