Learn moreWhy Draper homes are going backup-first
Draper sits at the Point of the Mountain, where the prevailing winds whip through the gap and take the foothill neighborhoods offline more often than the valley floor. Suncrest, Corner Canyon, and the Traverse Mountain slopes see routine Rocky Mountain Power outages from wind events, ice storms, and summer maintenance windows. For homeowners with a well pump, a home office, medical equipment, or a garage full of EV, that's no longer a nuisance — it's a problem.
BYOP Electric designs battery and generator systems around the actual loads in your house, not a brochure's “typical home.” We walk the property, read your bill, look at your panel, and ask what you actually want running when the grid is out. The result is a system that covers what matters and nothing you don't need to pay for.
For homes with existing solar — especially the 10kW+ systems installed across Draper's tech-forward neighborhoods over the last five years — we retrofit batteries that finally make those panels useful during an outage. Most grid-tied solar shuts off when the grid fails; a properly integrated battery keeps it running. That's the conversation we have with Draper homeowners every week.
Whether you're in Suncrest, Corner Canyon, a newer build in the Traverse Mountain corridor, or an established home east of I-15, BYOP gives you the same straight pricing and direct communication. You talk to the licensed electrician who does the install — not a sales rep, not a call center, not a dealer network.

Draper Backup Power FAQ
How much does a home battery backup cost in Draper, Utah?
A whole-home battery backup system in Draper typically runs $14,000 to $28,000 installed, depending on capacity and whether you need critical-loads only or full-home coverage. BYOP pairs the battery with a transfer switch and sizes the system to your actual outage needs — not a sales pitch. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Battery Program pays $2,000 per battery, applied directly to the install cost.
Battery or generator — which makes more sense for a Draper home?
For most Draper homes, a battery wins on quiet operation, zero fuel, and daily bill reduction. A standby generator wins on long-duration outages and heavy loads like a well pump or HVAC. Many of our Draper clients end up with both — a battery for the first 8 to 24 hours, a generator for anything longer. BYOP designs the system around your outage history and load profile, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Do I need a permit for a battery or generator install in Draper?
Yes. Draper City requires electrical permits for battery storage, standby generators, and transfer switches. BYOP pulls every permit and schedules every inspection as part of the install — you never have to visit city hall. Permit costs are included in the quote, never surprise-billed.
What battery brands does BYOP install in Draper?
We install Tesla Powerwall, EG4, Anker SOLIX, Ecoflow, Lion Energy, and Ruxiu in Draper. Unlike a dealer who pushes one brand, we recommend the battery that actually fits your backup goals, load profile, and budget. Every Draper install includes the transfer switch, electrical integration, commissioning, and permitting — a single priced project.
Does Draper get enough power outages to justify backup?
Draper's east-bench and foothill neighborhoods — Suncrest, Corner Canyon, and the Traverse Mountain slopes — take the brunt of wind events that funnel through the Point of the Mountain, plus the occasional ice storm and Rocky Mountain Power maintenance outage. Homeowners with well pumps, home offices, or medical equipment tend to value backup the most. A free site visit tells you whether your specific address justifies the system — and how big to size it.
