Why we invested
The residential switchboard hasn't meaningfully changed in a century — 55+ components, up to 10 hours to install, zero visibility into the home it powers. Basis has rebuilt it from the ground up: a prefabricated, software-defined panel that installs in under 90 minutes and turns every subcircuit into a data point. The immediate win is for electricians, but the bigger opportunity sits behind the meter — metering, load management, energy retailing, solar integration. The panel is the beachhead. The energy stack is the prize.
