Sophabulous builds Solar Passive Habitats — curved-arch retrofits that use the sun to heat and cool the homes we already have.
Our existing buildings can't sustainably meet the demands of our temperate climate. Conventional fixes — like standard HVAC — are expensive and carbon-heavy. It simply isn't accessible to design and build solar-passive homes today.
Sophab technology uses the sun's energy for natural — free — energy production. A Sophab provides the means to heat and cool your habitat sustainably, wrapping any new or existing building in our temperate Canadian climate.
Interested in harnessing solar energy but not sure where to start? We offer Solar Passive Habitats that range in size — from compact heat-pump covers, to full-house coverings and solar modifications tuned to your site.
Retrofit the 20 million buildings already here instead of building new — the lowest-carbon square foot is the one you already own.
The arch captures winter sun to pre-heat your home and shades it in summer — passive tempering, no fuel burned.
Locally fabricated timber ribs and polycarbonate glazing, engineered and stamped, built to last in the Maritime climate.
The same curved, solar-passive shell — sized to your home, from a cover over a heat pump to a full Solarship: a whole home in a dome.
Our first at-scale project is going up right now — a full-sized HalfPhab Solarship on a home here in Fredericton. We're also seeking local community projects interested in applying solar-passive technology.
Sophabulous was founded with a simple vision: create affordable, accessible low-carbon solutions for the buildings we already live in.
