- Base will sign up customers at participating Walmart and Sam's Club stores, starting in Texas in November.
- Customers who enroll there get 20% off Base's upfront installation fee.
- Base says it has more than 35,000 customers in Texas. More than 20,000 of them have a home battery.
- On Nov 10, 2026, Base and the co-op CoServ said their home battery program will expand to 450 MW. Base has installed 75 MW there so far.
- CoServ controls when that fleet charges and discharges.
- The announcements do not give the size of the investment or the installation fee.

## What it means for you
Texas battery sellers and generator dealers now compete with a backup offer that is sold in stores, where the customer does not buy the battery.
