Eco-responsible habitat
An ecological, self-sufficient and comfortable home
Our living space lacks none of the key elements of a real home: bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room. The difference lies in the reused materials and the intelligent integrations.
The concept
A self-sufficient house on wheels
Soleva applies the Low-Tech concept and the reuse of components to deliver a low-carbon, zero-waste habitat. Living comfortably while respecting planetary boundaries.
Renewable energy
The habitat is powered by the on-board solar panels covering lighting, cooking and everyday appliances.
Conscious mobility
A home that moves with the sun, designed to travel without depending on infrastructure.
Low impact
Every decision aims to reduce the environmental footprint, from the structure to the interior finishes.
Reuse and recycling
Cork, wool and reclaimed wood make up most of the interior.
Compact comfort
A volume optimised to the centimetre, never sacrificing on-board well-being.
Real autonomy
Water, energy and heating managed in short loops to live far from any connection.
Sustainability
Local and reused materials
The environmental impact of our living space is kept to a minimum thanks to reused and recycled materials: cork and wool for insulation, reclaimed wood for furniture. All designed in short loops with low embodied energy.
- 100% renewable energy produced on board
- Off-grid living, no permanent connection
- Reused materials from local sources
- Cork and recycled wool insulation
- Carbon footprint and waste reduced to a minimum
- Conscious mobility, at the pace of the sun
Comfort
Ecological does not mean spartan
Living sustainably requires no compromise. The habitat keeps the feeling of a real home: a functional layout, a warm atmosphere and uses designed for everyday life.
Real home feeling
A coherent interior where every zone has its place, just like in a house.
Natural warmth
An inertial mass stove radiates a gentle, lasting heat.
Compact yet complete
Nothing essential is missing despite the reduced footprint.
Daily usability
A space you genuinely live in, day after day, on the move.
Autonomy & systems
Simple, robust and self-sufficient systems
On-board solar energy powers both propulsion and life aboard. The technical choices favour sobriety: Low-Tech solutions that are easy to maintain and independent from infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Everything about the habitat
What is a self-sufficient house on wheels?
It is a complete mobile home - bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room - able to run off-grid thanks to solar energy and low-consumption Low-Tech systems.
Does solar energy also power the habitat?
Yes. The energy produced by the solar panels covers both propulsion and the needs of life on board: lighting, cooking and appliances.
Which materials are used?
The interior favours reused and recycled materials: cork and wool for insulation, reclaimed wood for furniture.
How is water saved?
Thanks to a "perpetual shower" that recycles water and dry toilets, water consumption is reduced to the strict minimum.
Is comfort sacrificed?
No. The habitat keeps all the functions of a real home, with a warm atmosphere and heating from an inertial mass stove.
