If it's $40-65/month that's $1.33 to $2.17 per day, not $0.21/day (assuming month with 30 days)
solarpunk is just socialism with afrofuturist aesthetics. happy for them!
How is small businesses selling solar panels to people socialism?
Capitalism is really centralized monopolistic oligarchical control in modern media parlance.
Distributed empowering democratic grassroots level capitalistic allocation of resources that don't provide centralized control and administration is "socialism".

Solarpunk with capitalism is kinda missing the point IMO.
