Battery backup in Salt Lake City, 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 Salt Lake City 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 Salt Lake City 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. Salt Lake 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.

We install Tesla Powerwall, Sigenergy, and EG4 in Salt Lake City — 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 Salt Lake City install includes the transfer switch, electrical integration, commissioning, and permitting — a single priced project.

SLC sees aging-infrastructure outages regularly, especially in the Avenues, Sugar House, and Rose Park. Wind events hit the benches hardest. Many of our SLC customers are running medical equipment, home offices, or simply tired of losing their fridge contents twice a year. A free site visit tells you whether your specific address justifies the system — and how big to size it.
