"I asked him to evaluate our solar. He suggested we NOT buy any more — just get 2 of our 14 existing panels serviced because they weren’t producing properly."

Provo's grid looks stable on paper, but the reality on the east bench and foothill neighborhoods is different — wind events roll through the Provo Canyon corridor, ice storms knock branches into distribution lines, and Rocky Mountain Power maintenance windows take whole blocks dark for hours at a time. 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+ east-bench systems installed 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 Provo homeowners every week.
Whether you're near BYU, on the east bench, or in a newer build off Lakeview, 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.

Provo Backup Power FAQ
How much does a home battery backup cost in Provo, Utah?
A whole-home battery backup system in Provo 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 Provo home?
For most Provo 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 Provo 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 Provo?
Yes. Provo 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 Provo?
We install Tesla Powerwall, EG4, Anker SOLIX, Ecoflow, Lion Energy, and Ruxiu in Provo. Unlike a dealer who pushes one brand, we recommend the battery that actually fits your backup goals, load profile, and budget. Every Provo install includes the transfer switch, electrical integration, commissioning, and permitting — a single priced project.
Does Provo get enough power outages to justify backup?
Provo's grid is reasonably stable, but wind events, ice storms, and Rocky Mountain Power maintenance windows still cause outages across east bench and foothill neighborhoods every year. 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.
