The fact that I can get a battery backup solution for the cost of installation and lower the cost of my electricity bill at the same timeis prettymuch a no brainer for me.

This is amazing!!! Literally the electricity went out for a split second and then came back on. It was important because I had several zoom conference calls that I'm leading while also remoting into my firm's VPN. To say Base Power has been a game changer for my household would be putting it mildly. What a phenomenal product.

If you don't have solar, Base guarantees rates remain below market average. You can also add solar after installing Base.
After five years in my Pflugerville home, I became increasingly concerned over continuing electrical power outages. Base has developed a very timely business model that not only will help stabilize the Texas Power Grid, but at the same time provide full home battery back-up and competitive electric utility prices.

Base is a modern power company on a mission to make Texans’ power more reliable and affordable. Base customers save on their monthly electric bills and enjoy power without interruption through a battery-powered home energy service.
When you switch to Base as your energy provider, you get a battery for 1/10 of the cost of other backup batteries or generators. When the grid is up and running, the Base battery will improve grid stability, and when the grid goes down, Base will protect customers’ homes from power outages. Base customers gain access to reliable battery backup and bill stability, without the high upfront costs of traditional home batteries or needing to install solar.
The upfront cost is a one-time fee of $3,000 to cover installation, which is 1/10 of the cost of other home batteries or generators on the market today.

There are four steps in switching to Base:
(1) a quick consultation to make sure your home qualifies for service
(2) enrollment in our retail electricity service and in our battery agreements
(3) a couple of signatures on permitting documents
(4) scheduling your battery install. Base will handle everything else
This process can take between 1-5 weeks from start to finish. You can read more about each of these steps in our guide.
With Base's Gen 1 technology, the average customer is fully protected from 97% of potential outages. As we improve our prediction software and battery network, outage coverage will improve over time.
In the event of an outage, Base notifies customers with their expected battery duration, tips to extend their coverage, and a timeline for grid power restoration.
Base offers home backup for critical appliances, like your fridge, lights, and outlets. The loads we cover depend on your subpanel, i.e. the breaker box often found in the garage. You can learn more by joining our waitlist - when Base becomes available, our team of engineers will conduct a site survey to tell you exactly what will be backed up.
Base offers a 20kWh battery and 11kW inverter, one of the largest home backup systems on the market. Our batteries have longer duration and can backup more appliances in your home than almost any other home backup solution.
Base batteries are designed to last over 15 years and withstand extreme temperatures. Base owns the battery and will handle the warranty and any other maintenance on the system.
Yes, Base batteries can integrate with existing solar panels, enhancing the value and efficiency of your solar system in a more cost effective way than high cost alternatives. Solar installations are more complex and provide whole home back up.
Base's solar integration does not affect your warranty. We do not need to rewire your existing solar devices to install. Feel free to send your warranty to team@basepowercompany.com to confirm.
If you don’t have solar yet but would like both solar panels and a battery installed, Base expects to add this offering in the future. We recommend signing up so you are the first to know about availability.
Base's hardware is UL certified - the ‘gold standard’ of electrical systems safety for all home appliances. Our electricians are licensed, bonded, insured + certified. All electricians work under a Master Electrician.
Here’s a summary of the Base Agreements:
1) Base can access the battery when necessary, and handles maintenance & warranty. All applicable warranties from the installer and manufacturer are passed to you.
2) Base will be your energy provider for the life of the battery and will renew energy prices annually below the market average
3) If you move, you can transfer to the next homeowner at no cost to you or them
4) As Base is in Beta, back up energy should not be used for life critical devices and cannot be guaranteed
5) You can't steal or damage the battery without fees.
If you ever want to cancel with Base, you only have to pay for de-installation, which is $1,000. You don’t have to pay for de-installation if you move after 5 years, transfer to the next homeowner, or if the renewal price exceeds market average.
If your contract is up within the next 3 months, we’ll schedule your switch and installation to avoid triggering the early cancellation fee. If not, we’ll cover up to $250 of your early cancellation fee for switching. Please contact us to review your exact situation so we can help.

Base's innovative model allows homeowners to get all the benefits of backup without the high cost for the hardware.
When you switch to Base, you get a home battery for just the cost of installation, which is a fraction of the cost of other backup batteries or generators. We're able to do this because Base's solution allows us to get paid by the grid, rather than by homeowners. When the grid is up and running, the battery discharges energy when it is needed most. This allows the battery to pay for itself over time without the customer having to think about it. Savings are passed on to Base customers via the battery, low monthly energy bills, and zero service and maintenance costs.
When the grid goes down, the Base customer gets exclusive access to the stored energy to protect their home from power outages. On average, the Base battery maintains a 93% state of charge. Base’s outage prediction technology fully protects customers from the vast majority of outages.
Base has two key pricing components:
Upfront Fee: The Base battery is a 20-50 kWh backup system, one of the largest home systems on the market. Comparable backup systems, including installation, cost approximately $10K-30K. With Base, homeowners only pay a one-time installation fee. Base installation fee is typically $3K, but is dependent on zip code and battery size. Base offers 0% interest payment plans.
Monthly Energy Bills: As your energy provider, Base guarantees that its rates will always be below the market average consumption rates. Base’s rates energy charges are dependent on your address. If you have solar, Base offers competitive buyback for all of your overproduction (regardless of whether the solar energy goes into the battery or to the grid) at a rate of real-time wholesale plus 3 ¢/kWh. Send us a copy of your latest energy bill at team@basepowercompany.com, and Base will provide a cost comparison. See Base's latest plans and Electricity Facts Labels (EFLs) here.
