The description text is misleading (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Bio_Industries/discussion/6016aad562bddce003718e6c)

Do not connect the solar power plant and boiler to your electrical grid. Have the free daytime steam flow into a series of storage tanks and then into steam engines that are connected to your electrical grid. Your regular 60kW solar panels will provide energy during the day. Your steam engines will provide energy during the night. Zero pollution :)

You can still take advantage of the solar power generated by the solar boiler when it isn't needed to generate steam. Just use a power switch to isolate the solar boiler grid when generating steam. I have an accumulator attached to the solar boiler grid. When it's signal is =100 (i.e. not discharging), I have the power switch activate, joining the two grids.
