Trusted by thousands of Texans

You’ve gotta check-out this new TX power company! Base Power Company. They make both power and whole-home power back-up batteries super affordable, and they install quickly. They beat everyone in the Texas market and not by a little, by a lot!! The paperwork was easy to understand and fast to complete. Their 3 year kilowatt-per-hour rate is lower than my previous power company charged, and that makes up for the total (very low) cost of the batteries paid over 3 years with no interest, so it’s a wash… pretty much like I’m spending nothing. My batteries were installed and tested on 12/17/24, in time to beat the winter storm power outages and I’m grateful. The sales team and the installers were polite, kind and efficient, with perfect clean up after the installation completed. This company is definitely a 5 star organization, 100%

Amazing!!! Great installation experience. Switch over testing was great. I can't wait until we have a power failure.😜🤣

Love our new battery backup system with BasePower! The process was super easy, and our rep walked us through everything and answered all of our questions. The permits and install went faster than expected, and we're so happy to have our backup system setup for the winter and potential grid issues. Thanks, BasePower!!!

While I thought it was too good to be true, Base’s solution is exactly what I’ve been looking for - backup power for an affordable upfront cost. Also excited to support a Texas-based team determined to fix our grid’s problems.

The idea of saving money, having a backup system, and environmentally friendly were the top reasons I chose Base. I've always wanted a backup system. I love how the system works. It is quiet, efficient, and a great thing for our planet. Thor and Everett were polite, professional, and courteous. I recommend Base Power and fully endorse their products!

How does a utility control the batteries?

Base has built a native SCADA solution to group batteries into flexible aggregations and dispatch them through triple-redundant fiber, customer wifi, and 4G cellular connectivity.Utilities can control these aggregations through a web-based dashboard or an API. If desired, Base can help integrate directly into the utility’s energy management system.

What is the customer experience?

Customers receive extremely affordable backup - paying $695 for installation and $19 per month compared to $15,000+ upfront for similar battery or generator options.When the grid is up, 80% of the energy is available for the utility to control and 20% is reserved for customers. When the grid is down, customers get all the energy in the batteries, which is around 80% full on average based on Base’s experience. Because Base deploys big battery systems - 40 kWh on average - even the minimum 20% can get homeowners ~3 hours of backup, long enough to endure 97% of grid disruptions. Customers can monitor the batteries’ state of charge and receive notifications of outages, including how much backup duration they have through Base’s applications. Customers cannot control the batteries.

What are the battery specifications?

Base’s “Gen 1” product is an 11.4 kW / 25 kWh battery. Customers can get two batteries in parallel for a total of 22.8 kW / 50 kWh. Current battery specs are linked here.
