Affordable backup for your home—without the hassle.

Switch to Base, and for the price of installation, you’ll enjoy the security of a battery backup system designed for today’s grid.

Thanks to Base’s unique approach, we generate revenue by supporting the grid, not by raising costs for homeowners.

Our battery balances the grid by charging when electricity is cheap and discharging when it's expensive.

This allows us to offer backup power at a fraction of the usual cost, while homeowners enjoy lower monthly power bills

When the grid is up and running
The Base battery is supporting the Texas power grid by discharging energy when it is needed most. This is how Base makes money. In turn, Base will pass on to you energy savings in the form of low, consistent energy rates.

FAQ

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 kWh battery, one of the largest home batteries on the market. Comparable backup systems, including installation, cost approximately $10K-20K. With Base, homeowners only pay a one-time installation fee. Base installation fee is typically $3K, but is dependent on zip code. For the $3K installation, 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.

Base operates in select deregulated regions of Texas where you can choose your energy provider, including areas served by the following Transmission and Distribution Utilities (TDUs): Oncor, CenterPoint, TNMP, AEP, and Lubbock Power and Light.

Check Availability

No. Base is not solar and does not require solar. Base does work with homes that already have solar and you can always add solar after installing Base.

The Base battery is a 20 kWh backup battery, one of the largest batteries on the market. The average outage in Texas lasts 2:40 minutes. The Base battery on average delivers 6-24 hours of outage coverage, which is dependent on household energy consumption.

Outage coverage can be extended with the use of solar or an affordable portage generator.

In the event of an outage, Base notifies customers of their expected battery duration, tips to extend their coverage, and a timeline for grid power restoration.
