Solar punk is now communist and anarchist? Anarchist I might even able to see how one could come up with that... Why do you need to appropriate another culture instead of leaving it a separate thing?
Solarpunk is pretty explicitly anti-capitalist, since virtually all of the damage to our biosphere with global warming, the animals on it, and the conditions we humans exist under, are mainly due to capitalism.
It is essentially eco-anarchism, which focuses on building the world we want to live in right now via prefiguration, to eventually create an anti-authoritarian decentralized communist society, perhaps somewhat similar to what the Anarchists achieved in 1936 Spain.
I mean, they can overlap. Not every solarpunk person is ancom, but ancom folks can be solarpunk. Not to mention, eco-anarchism is already a thing.
Appropriate another culture 😂
