Pretty weird that a book discussing a society that bears no resemblance to solar-punk aesthetic is one of the founding media for the movement. This just further highlights the incoherence of solar-punk art as it doesn't even bear resemblance to the supposed subject matter you're claiming it's drawing inspiration from.
Have I somewhere claimed this to be the foundational media for Soviet sci-fi art?
the art style of modern solar-punk is largely based on earthships https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthship, but its foundational ideas were largely inspired by the dispossessed
when did i claim that inhabited island was foundational media for soviet sci-fi art? i said the dispossessed was foundational media for the solar-punk movement, and then asked why you said soviet sci-fi art like inhabited island are more realistic and plausible than it. is there another piece of soviet sci-fi you want to use instead as an example for it being more realistic and plausible than the dispossessed?

One would certainly wouldn't get that impression by looking at most solar-punk imagery. Nor does the imagery reflect any aspect of the dispossessed that I can see.
You brought it up as a contrast to me pointing out discrepancies between solar-punk art and what the dispossessed describes. If you agree it's not foundational to Soviet art, then what relevance does it have to the discussion?
There are plenty of examples of Soviet sci-fi that are more realistic and plausible than the dispossessed because Soviet sci-fi was rooted in a real-world socialist system that actually existed as opposed to a purely speculative one the dispossessed describes. Here are a just few prominent examples from the USSR that offer plausible (within their era's understanding) visions of a futuristic socialist society:
