★★★★★“We are so happy with our outdoor sauna!”
★★★★★“The team at Sauna Marketplace made what could have been a stressful, expensive online purchase feel smooth and manageable. I ordered a SaunaLife EE6G barrel sauna, and they were really helpful through all the back and forth while I figured out the right setup, from the sauna and heater to foundation, electrical, and build questions. I also happen to live near one of the founders, and he actually came by for a couple of hours to help me get started on the build. Seriously above and beyond. I can't recommend them enough.”
★★★★★“We're in business! Tested the heating, feels great! Thanks a ton, Ben!!”
The ThermaSol outdoor sauna lineup
The Solaris Small is the smaller of ThermaSol’s two off-grid solar saunas. It runs on a 3 kW Harvia KIP heater fed from rooftop solar and a built-in battery bank: no electrical service, no chimney, no recurring wood. For a remote pad where utility runs cost more than the sauna, this is the build.

Built by Kirami in Finland
Solaris Small is sold in Europe as the Kirami FinVision® -sauna S Zero. Kirami is a family-run Finnish manufacturer that builds these saunas from start to finish at their own factory in Sastamala, Finland. The FinVision® line carries the Finnish Key Flag Symbol (Avainlippu): the credential that certifies Finnish-designed, Finnish-manufactured, and built from Finnish materials.
The Kirami FinVision® Zero line launched in 2024 as the world’s first fully self-sufficient off-grid electric sauna. Triple-pane argon-filled tempered glass, fully insulated walls, and enclosed tiled benches reduce the sauna’s effective heated volume to about 116 cu ft, which is why a small 3-3.6 kW heater can do the work of an 8-10 kW heater in a conventional outdoor sauna of the same exterior footprint.
Kirami joined the Harvia Group in May 2021, so the heater you choose and the sauna it sits in are now sister-company products engineered together. The integrated LED lighting wires into the Harvia Xenio control panel, which means one controller for heat, time, and ambiance.
Finnish ventilation engineering: fresh air enters through the intake on the heater side wall; spent air exhausts through the vent at the opposite upper back corner. Continuous airflow during a session without the cold drafts that plague poorly ventilated outdoor saunas.
Kirami construction details
Triple-pane gray-tinted tempered thermal glass with argon between layers on every window and the door (not just the front). LED lighting is integrated into the backrest and dimmed from the Harvia CX170 control panel. The sauna’s solar array uses three 410-watt panels feeding two 25.6-volt lithium battery packs. A full charge typically supports 2 to 3 hours of sauna time, or up to 4 to 5 hours in full sun. Kirami describes the design as “maximum energy efficiency, without compromising the authentic Finnish löyly experience” (löyly is the burst of steam when water hits hot stones).
Solar monitoring app
A companion mobile app reports solar yield, battery charge state, and heater status from your phone, so you can check capacity before heading out to a remote site or schedule a session for after a sunny afternoon. The Harvia CX170 controller drives the heater on command once the battery bank has the energy to back it.
FAQ
How many people fit?
Two to three adults.
How long does it take to heat up?
About 45 to 60 minutes from a charged bank, weather and panel condition permitting.
Do I need an electrician?
No. The Solaris ships ready to run from its own solar and battery system.
What’s the warranty?
One year manufacturer warranty.
Can it stay outside year-round?
Yes. Solar yield drops in deep winter; plan sessions accordingly.
What’s the lead time?
Twelve weeks.
Where it shines
This is the sauna we recommend when the site is a hunting lease, a back-forty lake pad, or a guest cabin where running a 240V line would mean a five-figure trench. The Solaris is a closed loop.
Shipping
Free shipping included. Outdoor saunas ship fully assembled via flatbed trailer. A forklift or crane is required at delivery for placement; manual offloading is not recommended due to size and weight. A licensed electrician handles the heater hookup. We notify customers two weeks before scheduled delivery so the site is ready. The path from the truck to the placement pad must be clear and accessible. Pad should be a firm, level surface with slight drainage runoff: concrete, decking, pavers, or compacted gravel.
