it really depends, there are people who use solar power who aren't solarpunk at all, and people who don't use solar power at all who are very solarpunk!
i'd recommend a quick read of the solarpunk manifesto to give you an overview of what it's like: https://slrpnk.net/post/350429
there's the artistic side of solarpunk, because being able to imagine a better world in the first place is vital. then there's the more practical side of solarpunk, where people are focused on making that better world happen here & now, on a global & local scale.
as you can imagine, the practical side of solarpunk would be pretty far-reaching, so it's hard to know what resources to share, but there are a load of cool resources already in various communities on the solarpunk instance, so you might want to check out any that take your fancy. there're resources on everything from foraging your own plants to prison abolition and landback!
