Love solarpunk but as a movement it has been doing really poor. Most of writing is YA fiction and non-fiction is either academia focused or just poor quality. There are some decent internet resources but the "permaculture" keyword yields much better information on mostly the same subject if you're looking to practice solarpunk.

One cool fact I can share is that solarpunk is very much winning here in South East Asia where many permaculture strategies like solar panels etc are very popular because it's simply outcompeting the alternatives and have an inclusive, hobby-like vibe.

For me Solarpunk is just another concept in a tool box of change. You have Permaculture, Half-earth/Eco Socialism, Degrowth, Circular/Library/Gift/Solidarity Economy etc. — all of them have different aspects of a social, just and ecologically oriented society in mind, they all play nicely together and it’s like choosing a flavour or stacking building blocks. Imho Solarpunk could be a sub category of Degrowth and Degrowth could be a sub category of Solarpunk — both are possible, it just depends on the way you look at them.

Maybe thats the problem of it trying to be too many things and thus lacking strong identity to gain critical mass.

Solarpunk is about world building. We need massive changes, thus we have to do many things at once.

As a movement, it's still in its infancy. You can checkout the SLRPNK.net Lemmy instance for various communities focused on real-life impact including:
