Solar photovoltaic doesn't involve steam. We can be solarpunk as well!
I guess hydro-power uses steam in the global water cycle so I'll give you that. Radio-Thermal Generators are all solid state, but not much power on earth comes from them.
Wind turbines as well.
Unless you count the humidity in the air.
And thermopiles.
