Battery backup in Orem, Utah.

It depends on the house — your panel, your loads, and how long you want to ride out an outage. Every BYOP install backs up the whole home; we size the system first, then give you one straight price with everything included. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Battery Program pays a flat $2,000 per system on qualifying batteries — program rules change June 15, 2026, and enrollments before then lock in the current $2,000. We file it for you.

For most Orem 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 Orem 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.

Yes. Orem 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.

We install Tesla Powerwall, Sigenergy, and EG4 in Orem — and we've installed and worked with eight battery brands across Utah homes, so we know what fits which house. We recommend the battery that fits your backup goals, load profile, and budget. Every Orem install includes the transfer switch, electrical integration, commissioning, and permitting — a single priced project.

Orem's grid is generally stable, but the occasional wind event off the Lake or ice storm from the Provo Canyon corridor will take blocks dark for hours. Homeowners with medical equipment, well pumps on older properties, or home offices are the most common backup customers. A free site visit tells you whether your specific address justifies the system — and how big to size it.
