Yes, it's possible.

This information is stored in Adobe After Effects 15.1 Prefs-indep-general.txt file under section Template Project with key New Project Solids Folder. Here's a snippet how to set Solids folder name via ESTK.

var folderName = 'EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!';
setSolidsFolderName(folderName);
function setSolidsFolderName(folderName) {
    var section = 'Template Project';
    var key = 'New Project Solids Folder';
    try {
        app.preferences.savePrefAsString(section, key, folderName, PREFType.PREF_Type_MACHINE_INDEPENDENT);
    } catch (e) {
        return alert(e.toString());
    }
    app.preferences.saveToDisk();
    app.preferences.reload();
    alert('Solid folder successfully changed to "' + folderName + '"\n' +
        'Please create new project for changes to take effect.');
}
