I would expect it looks a lot like what good teachers and librarians and other genuinely useful and intelligent people of culture do, right now, every day. They teach and educate, yes, even when the curriculum is crappy, and they care, and they help and support and defend and they do their best with what they have, they do a huge amount of largely thankless and currently unappreciated and minimized and relentlessly attacked work, not for the money or the recognition, but because it’s the right thing to do and it benefits society and our future.

That’s real work and real progress. That’s not about benefiting private equity and the stock market and making numbers go up. That’s about improving the world we live in and improving the lives of the people in it for their entire lives, sustainably, on and on to the next generation and the next. That’s pretty solarpunk if you ask me.
