Don't mind if it's a paid service if it's robust.

Mailbox.org is what I've used for a long time, before protonmail even existed. The mailbox.org servers are powered 100% by solar energy too!

Their fine print didn't fill me with total confidence, but still seems much better for privacy than most email services.

What did you see in the fine print? I just picked it because it was recommended, I never read any of that

100% solar energy? They shutdown the servers at night?

The site says 100% green but hosted in Germany. I'd be curious to know how this is possible

I would assume batteries. They generate excess solar energy during the day and store it in the batteries for night, but that's just my thought process. No idea on what they actually do.
