Looking for Long-form Solarpunk Fiction I can loose myself in, any suggestions? (self.fiction)

I love Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin's work, but most of the solarpunk content I've come across is short stories. What would y'all recommend that I can get lost in for a while?

Have you looked into Kim Stanley Robinson particularly his Mars Trilogy? It deals with a lot of utopian, ecological, libertarian socialist, and transhumanist themes. It predates solarpunk as a genre but it resonates a lot with solarpunk themes. The Mars Trilogy isn't complete without its fourth companion book The Martians which contains alternate universes, prequels, midquels, and spin offs to the main story.

His book New York 2140 would fit the bill as well, I think.

I really enjoyed 2140.
