Why Solar + Base Power
You’ve got the battery. Now get the power by adding solar.
Your Base Power battery is charged from the grid — but solar panels may help you reduce what you owe for power and lessen your dependence on the grid.
Your battery is only half the equation
Base Power batteries are excellent — but they recharge from the grid by default. Solar changes that entirely.
