Their problem is that they don’t really leave you with enough power for real emergencies, while they are hyper focused on doing their energy arbitrage.
See https://epicelectrical.com/what-is-base-power/ for one take on this problem.
For me, I’m happy to have batteries at my home and to voluntarily participate in a VPP, up to certain limits. If there is a predictable bad weather situation coming up, then I want to be able to turn off the VPP and store as much energy locally as I can. And I can only do that if I fully own the battery system that is in place. Tesla doesn’t help me there, neither does Base Power.
If you find a solution, I would be interested.
Get your own battery systems, that you pay for yourself.
Once they are installed, you can then choose to join a VPP program, where you control how much energy will be sold back, and when.
Of course, you won’t make as much money, but you will have more control over how much power is left in your batteries for when you might really need it.
