Storms, grid overload, planned powerline work — whatever takes the grid down, your home stays powered. A whole-home battery, sized to your house and your budget.
That’s Bring Your Own Power.
Three trends, all pointing the same way — why Utahns are adding batteries before they need them.
To stop wildfires, Rocky Mountain Power now de-energizes lines on contact — a single branch can trip it — then crews patrol before flipping it back on. Add ice storms and load-driven failures on top.
U.S. outage hours have roughly doubled since 2018 — and this spring alone, 2,000+ Utah homes went dark at once.
Grid-tied panels legally shut down the instant the grid does — so your array goes dark right when you need it most. And exported solar now pays about a third of what stored solar saves you.
A battery is the only way to actually keep and use the power you make.
AI data centers, EV charging, and aging wires all pull on one grid — and those upgrades land on your bill, year after year. Meanwhile the federal tax credit has ended and Utah’s rebates are tightening.
Stored power is worth more every year you wait — and cheapest to install today.
An engineer designs your backup. Not a salesperson.
Bat spent years as a distribution-planning engineer at Rocky Mountain Power — forecasting demand and getting substations built ahead of it. He’s seen from the inside why the grid can’t keep up. Today he designs every system BYOP installs, and tells you straight what your home needs.
Bring Your Own Power means independence through storage. Grid-tied solar alone shuts off with the grid, and exported solar now pays roughly a third of what stored solar saves you. The battery is the point: solar feeds it, and it keeps your house on.
We design around your home and how you live — your panel, your loads, the outages you’re trying to ride out — then give you one price with everything in it. No leases. No liens on your home.
We’ve installed and serviced all eight — so we can tell you which one fits your house and budget.
Because no single battery is best for every home. BYOP Electric is always hunting for the best storage on the market — and every system has real trade-offs in power, capacity, footprint, app, warranty, and price.
We’ve installed and lived with all eight, so we can match the right one to your home, your loads, and your budget — instead of selling you the one brand we happen to be locked into.
We’re loyal to your home, not to a manufacturer.
A properly sized battery runs your whole home through an outage — the AC, the well pump, the kitchen, the home office. Here’s what that looks like day to day.
It’s 100° and the power’s out — but your central air keeps humming, the fridge stays cold, and the well pump runs. One battery powers the whole house at once, not just a fridge and a few lights.
The grid drops mid-meeting and nobody on the call would know. Wi-Fi, monitors, and the laptop never blink — you just keep working.
No generator to drag out, no fuel, no noise. The switch happens in a blink and stays silent — and when the grid comes back, the battery sorts itself out.
If you have solar, you can add storage — no matter who installed it or what brand it is. We AC-couple a battery at your main panel, so we work alongside your existing system instead of replacing it. Most Utah homes run one of these:
Not sure what you have? Send us a photo of your inverter and we’ll tell you exactly what fits.
“Much cheaper to go with someone with Bat’s background than a big solar company. However, there is nothing cheap about his work. He does exactly what he tells you he will do.”
“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.”
“His prices were WAY lower than everyone else while still using quality products with 25-year warranty. It made solar actually affordable and obtainable for us.”
“I talked with 6 solar companies before. BYOP Electric stood out — no sales pressure, prices were really competitive, install went very smooth.”
“One of those guys some would tease as being ‘too honest’ — he truly wants you to know everything about your transaction, even the nuances many would never mention.”
“Bat’s engineering background gave me extra confidence. He is honest and knowledgeable, and he gave me a great price. Now I’m looking for more places to add solar.”
“No sales pressure, prices were really competitive, and the install went very smooth. BYOP Electric stood out from the six companies I talked to.”
It depends on your home — your panel, your loads, how much backup you want, and whether you’re adding solar. We size the system first, then give you one straight price with everything included: permits, interconnection, install, inspection, and app setup. If a rebate applies, we file it for you and it lands in your account.
Yes — adding a battery to existing solar is one of our most common installs. We AC-couple a modern 200A pass-through battery at your main service panel. Works with Enphase, SolarEdge, APS DS3, SMA, Fronius, Tesla, Generac PWRcell, and almost any inverter — even leased solar, because the battery is downstream of their equipment.
No. Modern LFP batteries (Tesla PW3, Sigenergy, EG4, Ruixu) all have 200A pass-through, so your entire main panel runs through the battery during an outage. No sub-panel, no rewiring breakers, no choosing which lights stay on. Whole-home backup is the only thing we install.
Backup-only battery installs run about 1 day on-site. Solar + battery bundles run 2–3 days. Permitting, RMP interconnection, and the Wattsmart application add 2–4 weeks before we break ground — we handle that paperwork in the background.
The owner designs your system and answers your texts. We’ve installed eight battery brands across Utah homes, so we know what works for which house. One price, no kitchen-table surprises, no leases. 35+ Utah installs and 4.9★ on Google. Licensed and insured in Utah.
Tell us about your house and an engineer designs the right system — then gives you the price, everything included.
