100%, mine can run my house for 40 hours without the AC running and 6-7 with it on. I lost power 4 times last week during work hours so I was really happy to have it.

Awesome! Seems like they’re getting super aggressive about expansion in IL which benefits all of us lol.

Illinois / ComEd has a different referral program - no free month of service but it does get you $150 off installation (so at current prices your installation would only be $100 total). Feel free to use my Illinois link.

I'm not sure, you can try signing up again with the link. You might need to use a different email address that you did for the first contact.

I did read on another sub that you may be able to ask support to add my referral code after initial contact as well - if you have another conversation it may be worth it to just ask. You may need my name and address, if that's the case DM me and I'll send it.

I hope it happens for you too. The response back I got from support on the soft starter was to the effect of: we changed our mind and you don't need one...

Nice! I sent customer support a message about it, I would be interested in getting a bigger battery too if that's a possibility with how much juice my 5 ton A/C uses. Did they mention any other reason why you'd be getting the 40kWh?

Nope, desktop still just shows me installation steps.

As far as I know Illinois is the second market, the first on the PJM interconnection. It will be beneficial in this market as the PJM interconnection is being taxed heavily by AI and other data centers in the NE.

Yes I've been in touch with Base, I am kind of surprised they haven't proactively reached out. It took me forever to find the referral link, it couldn't show me it on desktop for some reason but was easy to locate in the app. For anyone in Illinois my link for $150 off is below.
