Solara 3 Electrical Requirements
According to the model-specific circuit table in the supplied 2026 Cal Sauna owner's manual, the Solara 3 requires an independent 110–120V, 20A circuit using minimum 12 AWG wiring.
| Voltage | 110–120V |
|---|---|
| Required Amperage | 20A |
| Circuit Type | Independent / Dedicated |
| Minimum Wiring | 12 AWG |
| Extension Cord | Do Not Use |
| Surge Protector | Do Not Use |
No other appliances or electronics should share the sauna's dedicated circuit. Cal Sauna recommends having an electrician or contractor inspect or install the required circuit when necessary and following applicable electrical requirements.
Important Electrical Documentation Note
Some general sections of the supplied multi-model owner's manual broadly reference a 25-amp circuit. However, the model-specific circuit table identifies the Solara 3 as a 20-amp, 110–120V model using minimum 12 AWG wiring .
Because electrical requirements directly affect installation and safe operation, verify the circuit configuration against the current manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical codes before use.
Installation Requirements & Assembly Planning
Installation Environment
- Choose a dry indoor residential location.
- Install the sauna on a level surface.
- Keep the sauna base and exterior dry.
- Do not expose the sauna to rainfall or outdoor weather.
- Do not install near open water or standing water.
- Keep the sauna away from excessive moisture.
- Confirm the dedicated electrical circuit before operation.
- Inspect panels, wiring, and heating components for shipping damage.
General Assembly Considerations
Recommended / Required
- Choose the final location before assembly.
- Use a minimum of two capable adults.
- Assemble on a dry, level final installation surface.
- Keep temporary working space around the sauna.
- Handle the glass front panel carefully.
- Inspect panels and electrical components before energizing the sauna.

The supplied owner's manual notes that some wall panels may weigh approximately 40–60 lbs. The glass-containing front panel should also be handled carefully by at least two people.
Can the Solara 3 Be Installed Outdoors?
No. The Solara 3 is designed for indoor residential use. The supplied documentation instructs owners not to expose the sauna to rainfall, outdoor conditions, standing water, or excessive moisture.
Suitable Locations May Include
- Dedicated home wellness rooms
- Personal single-family home gyms
- Dry indoor spa rooms
- Other dry, level residential interior spaces
Not Intended For
- Outdoor patios
- Uncovered exterior locations
- Damp or excessively humid rooms
- Locations near open water
- Hotels, inns, and hostels
- Short-term rental properties
- Public or membership gyms
- Other commercial applications
Warm-Up Time & Operating Guidance
How Long Does the Solara 3 Take to Heat Up?
Plan for approximately 30–60 minutes of preheating, depending on room conditions and the selected temperature.
One portion of the supplied manual references approximately 30–45 minutes to reach an ideal operating temperature when ambient temperature is 60°F or higher, while the startup instructions separately advise allowing up to 30–60 minutes.
Because real warm-up time varies with room temperature and operating settings, allow up to an hour rather than assuming a fixed heat-up time.
Basic Operating Sequence
- Connect the sauna to its correctly installed dedicated circuit.
- Press the power button.
- Select the desired temperature.
- Set the operating timer.
- Allow the sauna to preheat.
- Adjust lighting, ventilation, and audio as desired.
- Turn the sauna off after use.
The owner's manual states that onboard memory retains the most recently selected time and temperature settings.
How Should the Solara 3 Be Cleaned?
The manufacturer instructions emphasize protecting the Hemlock interior from excessive moisture and keeping the sauna dry.
- Disconnect the sauna from power before cleaning.
- Use water and a towel to wipe interior wood surfaces.
- Do not use liquid detergents or cleaners inside the cabin.
- Do not spray the sauna with water.
- Keep the base and exterior dry.
- Do not allow water to collect around the base.
- Use authorized replacement components when service is required.
Important Sauna-Use Considerations
The Solara 3 provides an infrared heat environment for personal sauna use. It should not be represented as equipment that diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents disease.
Cal Sauna's supplied documentation similarly states that reported sauna benefits are presented for reference and do not imply that the sauna treats chronic disease or medical symptoms.
People with health conditions, pregnant individuals, users of medications that may affect heat tolerance, and anyone uncertain whether sauna use is appropriate should consult an appropriate healthcare professional before use.
Do not use the sauna while under the influence of alcohol or other substances that may impair awareness, coordination, or heat perception.

Review the Current Manufacturer Warranty Before Purchase
The supplied product information and supplied owner's manual contain conflicting warranty durations. For that reason, a definitive structural or heater warranty duration should not be represented without reference to the current manufacturer warranty language.
The primary 2026 Cal Sauna limited-warranty section in the supplied owner's manual lists one-year coverage for structural components, electrical components, and the carbon / IR heater. Another portion of the same manual contains different warranty language.
Cal Saunas Solara 3 Manuals & Dimensional Documentation
Review the supplied manufacturer documentation before electrical work, assembly, installation, and operation.
Is the Cal Saunas Solara 3 Right for Your Home?
The Solara 3 makes the most sense for homeowners who want more interior room than a typical two-person infrared sauna while maintaining a relatively manageable indoor residential footprint.
Its combination of three-person bench seating, nine carbon heaters, Canadian Hemlock construction, digital controls, adjustable ventilation, RGB and LED lighting, and integrated audio creates a well-equipped infrared sauna package for everyday residential use.
The most important pre-purchase consideration is electrical service. Although the sauna operates on a 110–120V system, the model-specific manufacturer information calls for an independent 20A circuit with minimum 12 AWG wiring.
Consider another sauna if you need outdoor placement, traditional sauna stones and steam, commercial installation, or a smaller two-person footprint.
