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.
