I like the way you differentiate the two (and I love the phrase "ruin porn" ... I hadn't heard that before).
I agree with how you're defining what makes something Solarpunk because the genre is really values-driven (hope, equality, fair distribution, resiliency, care for all species, etc, etc).
Similarly, a creation can look Solarpunk on the surface if it's doesn't carry those liberatory values then it's something else ( (i.e. green elitism, eco-fascism) that's wearing a solarpunk mask
