Loved working with the Base team! Excellent service and I'm thrilled with the product. Have been through two power outages so far and was able to continue life uninterrupted.

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.

Power just went out on my street and the battery kicked right on. Sitting here watching the game like nothing happened...It's awesome, my neighbors are asking how my lights are still on.

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 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. 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.
Enter your address to check your home’s eligibility and the timeline for installation.
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.

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.
