I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

My house being a dome lacks a traditional roof for solar panels,

Can you solder? You could probably go that route if you don't mind losing your round(?) dome aesthetics. I've seen some adaptations where regular rails were put in place and then additional supports soldered into the structure to lift it up and fit into irregular areas

    Soldering alone wouldn't work. The house is a monolithic dome, so it has over 20 inches of concrete for the outer most dome layer. I'd have to drill with masonry bolts and risk cracking the concrete of the house for it.
