Solar is a pelican theme designed for <https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com>. It is an attempt to radically reduce the energy use the associated with accessing our content.
To this end we've developed a [few custom pelican plugins](https://github.com/lowtechmag/solar-plugins) and additional scripts called [materialserver](https://github.com/lowtechmag/materialserver). For this theme to work the plugins are *required*. The `materialserver` scripts are optional.
