Last I heard, the estimate of upkeep on solar was about 5% of the cost of fuel for the same amount of power but that was a couple of years ago. Then again, again years ago, I saw a BU prospective business which was automating solar panel cleaning and have seen self-cleaning surfaces for solar panels ideas since.

Check out John and Nancy Todd’s Bioshelters, Oceans Arks, City Farming from 1984 which isn’t fiction but practical design ideas that are still relevant if you want “solarpunk”. Also look at Bill and Helga Olkowski’s work with the Integral Urban House and the City People’s Book of Raising Food from back in the 1970s.
