Hello all, I was wandering how would a production of things like microchips, solar panels and motors (and other electrical components) be managed in a anarchist, solarpunk society?
Any ideas and further reading will be helpful.

I think the best text that briefly discusses the role of technology in a solarpunk way is Post-civ!.
But if you ask me personally, I think that a post-capitalist society would organize and manage production in a totally different sort of way that does away with mass production and work as a separate field of human activity. That means these electronics would be produced only when they’re needed to with recycled or slowly extracted materials (see bio mining). I’d think we’d still see vast networks of collaboration similar to our current society, but without massive logistical chains that are deeply detrimental to the environment.
