I am not sure what I am looking for, but I am interested in solar punk and am looking for books!

It could be fictional (scifi/fantasy/whatever) or more technical..

!fiction@slrpnk.net has a few good book recommendations already.

Otherwise: Becky Chambers seems to be popular as an author lately.

    I highly recommend The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin.

    If you're looking for theory, The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin is where it's at

    Any sci fi novel by Ursula K. le Guin will have solarpunk elements, especially The Dispossessed

    Interesting... what made you think The dispossessed has solarpunk elements? Obviously anarchist but I feel like it doesn't have much focus on balance with the natural world, just in how the inhabitants of Anarres feel like the people on Urras have an actual planet and treat it like shit while they have a deserted planet and try as hard as they can to be In balance with it.
