Equipment or systems located on a customer’s side of the electricity meter—such as rooftop solar panels, battery storage, electric vehicle chargers, or energy controls—that generate, store, or manage power for use on-site rather than being supplied through the utility’s grid. Investors care because behind-the-meter assets change how much power a customer buys, can create new revenue or savings streams, affect demand patterns, and shift regulatory or business models in the energy market, much like a homeowner installing their own water tank reduces municipal supply needs.
microturbinetechnical
A microturbine is a small, compact gas-powered engine that produces electricity and often usable heat for homes, businesses, or industrial sites — think of it as a miniature version of the turbines that run large power plants. Investors care because microturbines can lower operating costs, create new revenue streams from onsite power and heat, reduce reliance on the grid, and tap into incentives for clean or distributed energy, all of which affect a company’s expenses and growth potential.
energy as a servicefinancial
A business model where customers pay a provider to deliver and manage their energy needs—such as electricity supply, on-site generation, storage, efficiency upgrades and billing—rather than buying or operating the equipment themselves. For investors, it matters because it converts one-time sales into recurring, contract-backed revenue streams, shifts capital and operational risk from the customer to the provider, and ties returns to long-term performance and regulatory changes; think of it like subscribing to an internet service instead of owning the modem and wiring.
ppas/esasfinancial
PPAs (power purchase agreements) and ESAs (energy storage agreements) are long-term contracts that set the price, amount and delivery terms for electricity and for services from batteries or other storage systems. Think of a PPA like a multi-year subscription to buy power at a set price, and an ESA like a service contract for storing and releasing energy when needed. These contracts matter to investors because they create predictable revenue streams, affect project financing and shift operational and price risk between parties.
embedded service contractsfinancial
Service agreements that are bundled into the sale of a product or larger contract and require the seller to provide ongoing maintenance, support, upgrades, or other services tied to that product. They matter to investors because they create future obligations and recurring revenue that affect a company’s cash flow, profit margins, and how revenue and liabilities are reported—similar to buying a device that comes with a built-in multi-year service plan.
