Your rights in a Texas HOA
You don't need HOA approval. The State of Texas passed Property Code §202.010 allowing for those in HOAs to install “Solar Energy Devices” (as defined in Tax Code §171.107), which include batteries like Base. As such, you are entitled to the right to have the Base system installed.
Permits & location
Base manages all permitting creation, submission, and inspection with local cities and utilities. Hardware is installed near the electric meter along an exterior wall. No changes are made to the roof or front face of the home. You can read more about our electrical and spacing requirements that determine battery location here.
Permit submission documentation is available on request, and a sample is here.

Safety & certification
Hardware is UL certified: the ‘gold standard’ of electrical system safety. This means it has gone through a rigorous set of safety tests prior to being built, plus each individual system is tested prior to installation.
Our electricians are licensed, bonded, and insured. All electricians work under a Master Electrician.
Our batteries use Lithium Iron Phosphate technology, which is far safer than other batteries by design, including being much safer than the batteries in most EVs, phones, and laptops.
Base batteries have active fire suppressants built into them. If the battery detects a fault, airbags of fire suppressant pop inside the battery, significantly reducing the likelihood of a fire spreading if one were to start.
