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 your battery backup around the 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 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?
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.
How long will a battery back up a Provo home in an outage?
It depends on the battery size and what you run on it. A whole-home battery carries a typical Provo house through the evening and overnight (fridge, lights, internet, furnace blower, well pump), then recharges from solar the next day. Want AC or multiple days off-grid? We size up. BYOP designs the system around your outage history and the loads you actually care about, not a one-size package.
Do I need a permit for a battery backup install in Provo?
Yes. Provo City requires electrical permits for battery storage 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, Sigenergy, and EG4 in Provo — 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 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.
