HOW WE DO IT
Battery storage technology continues to advance rapidly, expanding its role in distributed energy strategies. As costs decline and performance improves, storage has become an increasingly viable option for demand management, resilience planning, and operational flexibility.
BioStar evaluates storage as part of an integrated system design—supporting peak demand reduction, backup power, and long-term energy optimization.
BioStar Solar typically deploys storage for the following applications:
Solar + Storage | Backup Generation | Peak Shaving
PATHS TO OWNERSHIP
Long-term agreements (15–25 years) where BioStar owns and operates the system and sells electricity to the customer at a predetermined rate. PPAs serve as a long-term hedge against utility power pricing and rate increases.
Medium-term agreements (5–10 years) where the customer owns the system and makes fixed, scheduled lease payments to BioStar. This structure allows customers to monetize the ITC and depreciation associated with the projects.
An alternative structure used when regulatory constraints prevent direct power sales. BioStar provides and operates the equipment under a service agreement.
Similar structure to a PPA, with the exception that the client monetizes the tax credits and/or depreciation associated with the project(s) by utilizing the 3rd party ITC transfer rules of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
