Solar in the arctic circle? Isn't the arctic circle defined as the place where the sun doesn't shine in winter?
During the summer, I'm sure it's great there. The architecture is beautiful. But it just doesn't seem practical year-round.

For at least one day a year. Not the whole winter.
It sounds like you're assuming that the solar greenhouse is the only source of heat in the system, but I also see a wood stove. If I lived above the arctic circle, I would want redundant sources of heat too!
