Base Power WebsiteBase x Farmers FAQs
Yes! While Base does offer additional services in different parts of Texas, you’re a Farmers member with or without a Base battery.
During an outage, the battery system automatically detects the loss of grid power and within milliseconds, disconnects your house from the grid and keeps your power on. At that point, the battery supplies energy exclusively to your home. Once the outage is over, your battery seamlessly reconnects your house to the grid and resumes normal operation.
