Base Power Company designs, manufactures and installs distributed home battery storage systems delivering affordable energy and automatic backup without solar in Texas and Illinois.
Base Power Company builds and operates distributed battery storage for American homes. Founded in 2023 and based in Austin, Texas, the company provides affordable home energy and whole-home backup that engages automatically during grid failures - without requiring solar. The work is engineering-intensive by design: the company is vertically integrated, designing, manufacturing and installing every system itself rather than assembling third-party components.
Its technical scope spans distributed battery storage, battery technology, energy storage systems, power electronics and grid modernization, in service of a single objective: modernising the ageing American electric grid and shielding households from outages and volatile energy prices. The home battery system is already installed in more than 10,000 homes across Texas and Illinois, giving engineers the unusual opportunity to work on hardware and software deployed at scale shortly after it is built.
The company has raised over $1.3 billion in funding. Its engineering culture draws talent from rocket manufacturing, electric vehicles and hyper-growth startups, and it operates in the residential energy, home energy storage, electric utility and grid infrastructure sectors.
