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%

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!!!

What is Base? How does it work?
Base is your energy provider and backup power provider in one.

We install a large battery (from 25 kWh to 50 kWh) at your home for a low upfront cost. You get power from us at competitive rates because our batteries help balance the grid—charging when demand is low discharging when the grid needs support. When the power goes out, your battery automatically kicks in to keep your home running. Our current system protects against 97% of outages.
Do I need solar to get Base?
No, you do not need solar to work with Base. Base works with or without solar panels and integrates without affecting warranties or requiring system rewiring. Solar members get:

- Backup power during outages
- Extended protection since panels can recharge your battery during outages
- Competitive solar buyback at wholesale rates + 3¢/kWh

Planning to add solar later? Start with Base now. When ready, we'll integrate your panels using current transformers on the battery.

Why is Base able to offer a home backup system for significantly less expensive than alternatives?
Base offers a significantly less expensive backup battery solution compared to alternatives due to the unique shared business model: Base earns income from the power grid instead of homeowners.

This business model allows you to get energy backup without paying tens of thousands of dollars for a traditional generator. An expensive solar system and solar battery also requires a massive upfront investment which often can take longer than the lifespan of the system to pay back.

Base offers fair, fixed rates and reliable backup power. Since revenue comes from the grid, not customers, Base avoids hidden fees and surprise rate hikes. Your agreement also legally guarantees your rates stay below the market average.
