What Sol Spaces does

Sol Spaces Inc. is an Edmonton, Alberta-based privately held company that designs, builds, and sells sustainable greenhouses and modular backyard studio structures. Its core product line includes six greenhouse models ranging from 48 to 1,200 square feet (Greenhouse 48, 80, 100, 120, 240, and 1200) priced from $4,499 to $30,000, plus two Sol Studio backyard living units (Sol Studio 120 and Sol Studio 144) priced from $25,999 to $30,999. The company also offers ancillary construction services (decks, patios, landscaping, renovations) as add-ons.

The underlying technology stack centers on Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) construction, solar-powered ventilation systems, IoT-enabled temperature and humidity sensors, ductless heat pumps, optional solar packages with battery storage, and rainwater collection systems. Products are positioned as climate-hardened for Canadian weather, using 10mm polycarbonate twin-wall panels, insulated north walls, and treated lumber framing. Sustainability is the core narrative, with products marketed as self-contained, energy-efficient, and capable of off-grid operation.

Sol Spaces sells direct-to-consumer through its website with quote-request functionality, supplemented by a sales-led approach featuring "Get a Free Estimate" and "Schedule a Consultation" CTAs. Financing options (12, 36, and 60 month plans) are offered to lower the purchase barrier. Customer segments span residential homeowners (primary), community organizations (Alberta Avenue Community League), First Nations communities (Enoch Cree Nation), educational institutions (University of Alberta), and corporate accounts (Freedom Cannabis). Marketing uses organic social (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn), case studies, and earned media. Geographic operations are concentrated in Edmonton and the broader Alberta region of Canada, with no disclosed dealer or reseller network.
