Help Understanding the Value Proposition of Base
Hi, I've only learned about Base Power recently and would like to understand the value proposition better by asking actual users why they purchased and were willing to pay for the system.
On their website they say they bring more 1) affordable, and 2) reliable energy. The reliability part is easy to understand given that batteries obviously can act as buffers that kick in in times of emergency. I also understand that some markets experience frequent power interruptions and severe weather that results in such interruptions every now and then.
What I'd like to understand better is the affordability proposition. Is that general or also related to eliminating costs that would otherwise be incurred due to exactly the same reliability issues with the status quo in their target markets? Asked differently, if someone lived in a market where they didn't have to deal with these frequent power interruptions, as their climate doesn't see storms or severe summers, and power from the utilities is very stable and if power goes out it's like once a year. Would people in such markets still benefit from installing something like Base?
