The Basis smart panel is designed and tested to AS/NZS 3000 and delivers what Australian buyers actually value: control over their energy, more of their own solar used at home, and the safest electrical panel available.
Elevate your brand.
A genuine point of difference buyers can see, touch and talk about. Maximum safety as standard, an industry-beating product warranty, and local Basis support so every install lands as a premium experience.
Hundreds back in your customers' pocket. Every year.
Most homeowners give away solar energy they could have used, and overpay their retailer on top. Basis ends that. Circuit-level control lifts self-consumption, balances exports within network limits, and keeps the home on the best plan available. Real value, every year, for the family living in the home you built.
Built for your business, not just your build.
Every panel is factory-assembled and tested before it reaches site. Your electrician installs faster and hands over a higher-quality job on every home, with solar, battery and EV readiness standard and no custom board build required.
Defer the supply upgrade your build doesn't need.
Solar, EV charging, induction, heat pump hot water and reverse-cycle air conditioning all land on the same connection. Without load management, that peak can force a consumer mains or single-to-three-phase upgrade before the slab is even down. Basis balances demand across the supply you already have, deferring or avoiding the upgrade entirely and taking a cost line out of the project.

Victoria, from 1 January 2027
Every new residential and commercial building must be all-electric. Each gas appliance you would have specified becomes an electrical load on the board instead. Load control stops that turning into a supply upgrade on every lot.

Effortless control. From the day your customer moves in.
Every Basis smart panel includes the Basis Home app, free, with no subscriptions. Here's what your buyers get from move-in day, and what they'll associate with the home you built.
See every dollar, in real time.
Circuit-by-circuit tracking shows exactly where energy is going. Homeowners spot waste they never knew was there, and fix it the same day.
Use the solar you paid for.
Hot water, pool pumps, EV charging and pre-cooling shift into the middle of the day automatically. More self-consumption, less given away at whatever the retailer feels like paying, and no daily effort from the homeowner.
Compare plans on real usage.
Ranked against the home's measured circuit-level usage, not an estimate off a paper bill. Buyers see exactly what switching is worth.
Catch issues before they become repairs.
Live monitoring of electrical health. RCD trips and fault events go straight to their phone, so small issues get solved before they become expensive ones.
Real numbers from real homes.
Measured results from New Zealand installs. Australian case studies will follow as our first homes come online.
