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 manufacturing would remain centralised, since the infrastructure is already established & shouldn’t be wasted. demand would shrink due to reuse and recycling so supply could be slowed down massively, meaning distribution could happen slower and in more sustainable ways. assembly however could easily be done locally if we can establish strong universal standards. i think 3D printing (with recycled plastic, at least, if not something plant derived) & FOSS designs would help facilitate this.
