Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.
At Base, we’re building the future of residential energy. Our unique battery, power inverter, and interconnection systems are designed from the ground up to deliver affordable, reliable, and resilient power to households that are underserved by today’s aging and overloaded electrical grid.
Unlike conventional energy storage solutions that cost 5–10x more, our vertically integrated approach allows us to deliver larger, more powerful batteries at a fraction of the price.
