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.

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.

FAQ

Base protects homeowners from power outages and reduces their energy bills with a battery-powered home energy service. 

When you switch to Base as your energy provider, you get a home battery for a fraction of the cost of other backup batteries or generators. The upfront cost is low because when the grid is up and running, the battery performs grid balancing: it charges when electricity is cheap and discharges when electricity is expensive. 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 lower monthly energy bills.

When the grid goes down, Base customers get exclusive access to the stored energy to protect their home from power outages. Base’s beta outage prediction technology protects customers from 97% of outages. As Base improves its prediction software and the battery network, backup duration and performance will improve over time.

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 $20K. With Base, homeowners only pay a one-time installation fee. Base installation fee is typically $3K, but can be lower in different cities. 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.

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

Yes, Base serves customers with and without solar. Base’s batteries are easy to integrate with solar panels, and the integration does not affect your warranty or require any rewiring of your solar system.

Reasons why solar customers choose Base:

  • Your home remains powered during an outage.
  • Outage protection is extended because your solar panels can continue recharging your battery.
  • Base offers a competitive buyback program that can double the average value of your solar energy. You get credit for all of your solar overproduction (whether it goes into the battery or back to the grid) at a rate of real-time wholesale plus 3¢/kWh.

You can install a Base battery now and easily install solar panels later on as well.

Base batteries protect customers from 97% of outages. Depending on household energy usage, outage protection can last from 6 to 24 hours.

For solar customers, outage protection is even longer since your solar panels can continue to charge the battery.

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.

Certainly, you can email us at team@basepowercompany.com or call/text us at (512) 518-1009.
