Can I join Base if I have solar?

Yes! Base works for you with or without solar.

Base batteries integrate seamlessly with most solar panels without affecting your warranty or requiring any rewiring of your system.

Solar households in Texas choose Base for three key reasons:

1. Power during outages: Your home stays powered even when the grid goes down.

2. Extended outage protection: Your solar panels can continue recharging your battery during an outage, providing longer backup time.

3. Competitive solar buyback: Base credits you for all your solar overproduction—whether it charges the battery or goes back to the grid—at a rate of 4¢/kWh.

If you don't have solar yet but plan to install it later, you can start with a Base battery now. When you're ready, Base will integrate your solar panels by putting current transformers (CTs) on your battery.

Please coordinate with the Base support team to schedule this.

If you have — or plan to add — solar panels, switching to Base may cost you more than using ComEd as your supplier. ComEd offers hourly pricing and net metering, which credits solar members at better rates than Base's flat solar buyback rate.
