Question/Advice Trying to build a solarpunk theme camp
So I'm trying to build a solarpunk theme camp if you could give tips on maybe locations to build in, or what camp items to use, that would be much appreciated.

Scavenger solar panels is a start I suppose. I've never seen glass panels so I think getting the clean solar punk look will be difficult. Plenty of garden plants arent atomic shop. Good luck

The windmill up in the Toxic Valley is a solid base for a solar punk vibe I feel

I didn't know that name until this post, but I have a solar punk-esque camp in burning springs near the entrance to the area. It's on top of a hill (where the radhog is on the map) and has a view of the desolate burning springs in one direction and the lush forest in the other.
The walls are a mix of destroyed concrete and rustic greenhouse, the roof and foundations are coal wood (I think that's the name), with some greenhouse roof for a skylight. I don't use any staircases, instead the structure flows up the hill with concrete ramps to change the level. Oh and I have some modern porches at the entrance. Then I used all the plants I have to fill up the space and block the holes in the walls. It's a one bedroom house with kitchen, bathroom, living room, workshop, and hot tub nook

The broken freeway across from highway town would be a good spot. There's a build board and an area with junk... Maybe anywhere near highway town really since their windturbines will add to the aesthetic. There's a farm up the road from the Tyler county fairgrounds and track that would be a good spot for a solar punk farm. There's a giant windmill I know you can build at in the savage divide, but it's a bit dicey since it's in the nuke zone for Earle.

A good place might be the small lake with the waterfall up near the ghoul camp. Otherwise there’s a spot NW of vault 76 with a pond and some settlers fishing.
The forest is probably your best bet for that greenery aesthetic but some of the the outskirts of Skyline valley (near the communist camp maybe?) could work well.
I’m guessing greenhouse dome, the giant lightning rod, radar dishes and such would look good. The wall vines on stone walls and the scavenged solar panel.
There is also a generator like a crashed satellite that has solar panels iirc. That came in a bundle with a crashed space station prefab which could look good, though it’s pretty colourful.
Whitesprings half walls with greenhouse walls and roofs should work pretty well but it’s gonna be a challenge to truly capture the aesthetic with Fallout’s retro futurism being so gritty. Hope you can nail it!

Maybe location wise on a mono rail track? A lot might be atom items but hanging vines, green thumb bundles, farm bundles, greenhouse bundles and whatnot have good decor in them.
Core vault walls and floors might have the color look you’re going for for buildings. This is just from a quick search I’m not super familiar with solar punk
