Model a Solar Passive Habitat on your own home

Your free solar accessibility assessment — self-serve. Find your home, size a curved-arch Sophab, and see it modelled with a real cost estimate. You only pay for permits, engineered plans & contractor coordination.

Find your home

Step 1 of 5

Search, or click the map to drop a pin on your house. We use free OpenStreetMap data (and GeoNB parcels in New Brunswick).

Solar access & wall choice

Step 2 of 5

Which wall?

Click a wall — or several adjacent walls — to span a wider side or wrap a bay window.

Size

Tree cover & shade

Your property from above. We show the tree canopy we detected — click the map to add a tree, or click a tree to remove it, so it matches reality. Trees to the south cast the long winter shadows that cut solar gain.

Deciduous trees drop their leaves, so they barely shade winter sun (great for solar gain) but shade in summer. Evergreens shade year-round.

What you see here is a preview. We'll prepare a comprehensive report for your exact home — engineered sizing, detailed drawings, material options, energy modelling, permitting steps and contractor next-steps — and email it to you. No cost, no obligation.

See it on your photos

Step 4 of 5

Upload a photo of the wall from the yard. We overlay the true solarium geometry; nudge the sliders to line it up with your house.

Make it real

Step 5 of 5
  1. Confirm the numbers. A field measure (wall height, setbacks) tightens the estimate.
  2. Engineered & stamped plans. We adapt the sealed HalfPhab drawing set to your dimensions.
  3. Permit package. We assemble & submit the building-permit application for your municipality.
  4. Contractor matching. We share the plans + estimate with vetted local builders and coordinate quotes.
