Deploy capacity where it's needed most without lengthy interconnection queues. Our distributed approach moves 10x faster than traditional solutions.
Real-time control of flexible, reliable capacity across your service territory. Network-connected resources you can count on when demand peaks.
Defer capital expenses while managing distribution constraints through intelligent load management. Extract maximum value from existing infrastructure assets.
Give customers complete outage protection at a fraction of generator costs. The largest residential battery in America, attainable for all communities.
Purpose-built for innovative grid operators
Cost-effective capacity in months, not years
Base can deploy 100 MWh of battery capacity in just 3-6 months instead of the typical 3-6 years by installing residential batteries that bypass the traditional interconnection queue.
Our vertically integrated approach to hardware, deployment, and software significantly accelerates installation speed while reducing overall costs.
Affordable homeowner resiliency
Extensive whole-home backup protection for homeowners at just 1/40th the cost of alternatives drives strong customer demand.
Our approach expands access to critical resilience solutions for low- and middle-income communities that have been historically underserved by the current market.
Utility-grade reliability
Full-stack technology development and third-party ownership combine to deliver a high-performance power generation asset.
Field-demonstrated <5% forced outage rate (incl. connectivity and hardware), sub-second responsiveness, and MW delivered within 1% of commanded power.
Demand-side value, unlocked
Serve more load with existing infrastructure through localized asset control and demand.
With Base, you have the advantage of full observability to power quality and flow across the fleet.
Base Power designs, deploys, and networks fleets of residential batteries to provide homeowner resiliency and support the grid. Our business model makes battery backup dramatically more affordable for homeowners and fully dispatchable for the utility.
Base delivers rapid capacity for utilities by âlaunchingâ in a territory (often specific set of AHJs in metro area), deploying batteries to customers looking for affordable resiliency, then enabling the utility to control up to 80% of the energy in its fleet of batteries. Base looks like a power plant and a customer resiliency program wrapped into one, so we typically work with both of those teams at a utility.
Base is cost competitive with grid scale storage by vertically integrating hardware, software, and deployment processes to drive down costs.
Because batteries are customer-sited, there are no interconnection, land, BOP, or other costs normally required for utility-scale storage.
When entering new territories, Base reaches ~1-2% penetration of single family homes per year. With an average of 20 kW per deployment, Base can deliver 100MW of capacity in metro areas with 500K+ single family homes like Denver, Charlotte, or San Diego.To achieve this deployment velocity, Base stands up its âDeployment Factoryâ in new geographies that leverages in-house software to streamline permitting, logistics, and installation.
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 utilityâs energy management system.
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 Baseâs 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 batteriesâ state of charge and receive notifications of outages, including how much backup duration they have through Baseâs applications. Customers cannot control the batteries.
Baseâs âGen 1â 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.
