The aim of this paper is to continue the study of Kodaira dimension for almost complex manifolds, focusing on the case of compact [Formula: see text]-dimensional solvmanifolds without any integrable almost complex structure. According to the classification theory we consider: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. For the first solvmanifold we introduce special families of almost complex structures, compute the corresponding Kodaira dimension and show that it is no longer a deformation invariant. Moreover, we prove Ricci flatness of the canonical connection for the almost Kähler structure. Regarding the other two manifolds we compute the Kodaira dimension for certain almost complex structures. Finally, we construct a natural hypercomplex structure providing a twistorial description.
