Key Features of the Cal Saunas Solara 2
Two-Person Residential Sauna
The Solara 2 is configured with bench seating for up to two people. Its relatively compact dimensions make it particularly suitable for personal wellness rooms, smaller dedicated sauna spaces, and residential home gyms.
Carbon Infrared Heating
The Solara 2 uses a carbon infrared heating system rather than a conventional electric sauna heater with sauna stones.
Buyers specifically looking for a traditional heater-and-stones sauna or a steam sauna should consider a different sauna type.
Canadian Hemlock Construction
Canadian Hemlock is used for both the wall paneling and flooring. The sauna also uses double-wall construction and includes a glass sauna door.
Digital Temperature and Session Controls
The integrated digital control system lets users adjust sauna temperature and session time while monitoring the sauna's operating status.
- Increase or decrease temperature
- Increase or decrease session time
- Switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius
- Power the sauna on or off
- View heating status
- Control applicable interior lighting
- Retain previous temperature and time settings through onboard memory
Adjustable Interior Ventilation
An adjustable interior vent allows the user to modify airflow within the sauna cabin during operation.
Glass Sauna Door
The Solara 2 uses a glass front door that complements the compact residential cabin design while maintaining the enclosed sauna environment.
Manufacturer-Reported EMF Information
Cal Saunas reports an average magnetic-field range of approximately 5–10 mG at around 2 inches from the carbon heaters. This is manufacturer-reported technical information and should not be interpreted as a medical or therapeutic claim.
Integrated Lighting, Audio & Everyday Controls
Interior Lighting
Includes an interior center or reading light along with RGB cabin lighting.
RGB Bench Lighting
An independent RGB LED system provides additional lighting beneath or around the bench area.
Bluetooth Audio
Connect a compatible mobile device for wireless audio playback through the sauna's integrated system.
USB Playback
USB audio input provides another option for playing compatible audio media.
SD Card Playback
The audio system also supports SD card input for compatible stored audio.
Digital Session Timer
Session duration can be adjusted directly from the digital control system.
RGB Color Options
The supplied documentation identifies seven selectable RGB colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.
Supported Audio Functions
- Bluetooth
- USB
- SD card
- Play / pause
- Track selection
- Mode selection
- Volume adjustment
In Bluetooth mode, the manufacturer's manual states that the system appears as "audio" on a compatible mobile device.
Who Is the Cal Saunas Solara 2 Best For?
Best For
- One or two sauna users

Consider Another Sauna If...

- You want a steam sauna

Cal Saunas specifies the Solara indoor series for personal residential use. Commercial use and outdoor installation can affect or void manufacturer warranty coverage.
Solara 2 Dimensions & Space Planning
The Solara 2's compact footprint makes it useful for buyers who want seating for up to two people without dedicating the floor area required by a larger sauna cabin.
Measure Before Ordering
Confirm all of the following before purchasing:
- Available floor width
- Available floor depth
- Available ceiling height
- Doorway and hallway access
- Stairway access, where applicable
- Final electrical circuit and receptacle location
- Room for unpacking and assembling the sauna panels
Solara 2 Electrical Requirements
| Voltage | 110–120V |
|---|---|
| Model-Specific Required Amperage | 15A |
| Minimum Wiring | 12 AWG |
| Circuit Type | Independent / Dedicated |
The manufacturer states that the sauna should operate on an independent circuit with no other electronics connected to the same circuit.
Cal Saunas recommends having an electrician or contractor inspect or create the intended circuit when necessary and requires compliance with applicable electrical codes.
Important Electrical Documentation Note
The supplied 2026 owner's manual contains inconsistent circuit language. General installation sections reference a 25-amp independent circuit, while the manufacturer's model-specific Solara 2 circuit table lists the Solara 2 at 15 amps, 110–120V, with minimum 12 AWG wiring .
Because electrical requirements directly affect installation and safe operation, verify the final circuit against the current manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical codes before installation.
Installation Requirements & Planning Considerations
Installation Environment
- Install the sauna in a dry indoor location.
- Place the sauna on a level surface.
- Keep the sauna base and exterior dry.
- Do not install near an open source or body of water.
- Do not expose the sauna to rainfall or excessive moisture.
- Assemble the sauna in its intended final location.
- Inspect panels, cables and heating components before operation.
- Do not operate the sauna if cables or heating elements appear damaged.
- Use the required independent electrical circuit.
- Do not use extension cords or surge protectors.
- Keep the power cord away from walking paths.
Cal Saunas warns that uneven installation can damage hinges or compromise wall-panel alignment. The manufacturer also notes that the softwood construction can absorb moisture, making a dry installation environment important for maintaining the sauna.
General Assembly Considerations
- Use at least two capable adults.
- Assemble the sauna on a level final installation surface.
- Allow temporary working space around the sauna.
- Handle glass and wall panels carefully.
- Inspect exterior buckle clips after panel assembly.
- Follow the current owner's manual for the full assembly sequence.
The supplied documentation does not state that professional assembly is mandatory, but it does state that at least two people are required for safe assembly. Some panels can weigh approximately 40–60 lbs, and the glass front assembly may also be heavy.
Care & Maintenance
Recommended Care
- Wipe down the interior after use with a damp cloth or towel.
- Use a towel on the bench to help absorb perspiration.
- Keep the exterior and base dry.
- Avoid exposing the sauna to excessive moisture.
- Unplug the sauna before cleaning.
- Do not use liquid detergents or cleaners inside the sauna.
- Use water and a towel for routine interior wipe-downs.
- Use authorized Cal Sauna replacement components when replacement is required.
The manufacturer explains that the untreated softwood inside the sauna can absorb water and moisture from its surroundings. Proper drying and cleaning are therefore important parts of routine sauna care.
Residential vs. Commercial Use
The Solara series is specified for residential use. Cal Saunas identifies several installations as commercial-use environments.
Examples the Manufacturer Identifies as Commercial Use
- Short-term rental properties
- Airbnb-type rental installations
- Hotels
- Inns
- Hostels
- Other temporary lodging properties
- Public gymnasiums
- Members-only gyms

Is the Cal Saunas Solara 2 Right for Your Home?
