One kit, picked and tested by an electrical engineer.
Plug In Solar Utah is the first product line of BYOP Shop, an online DIY solar shop we're launching for Utah homeowners who want solar without the 20-year loan and the truck-roll sales pitch. More products are coming. We started with plug-in because Utah's HB 340 made these kits the fastest-payback, lowest-paperwork solar product available anywhere in the country.
Who picked these kits
Bat is our founder, a Utah-licensed Master Electrician with an electrical engineering degree. His other company, BYOP Electric, does full rooftop solar and home battery installations across Utah. Plug-in is a different product category, smaller, simpler, no permits required, but the underlying physics and inverter standards are the same ones he works with every week.
Before we put anything on this site, Bat installed and tested it. He ran multiple plug-in microinverters in real Utah conditions across different orientations, ground and roof setups, summer and winter, to see whether the production curves actually matched what the spec sheets claimed. The kit we ship now is the one that consistently delivered.
The 3 Panel kit pairs the EcoFlow STREAM inverter (1,200W AC, Utah's legal ceiling, 10-year warranty) with three 460W DMEGC bifacial panels — best $/watt and the most kWh per year you can legally run. EcoFlow built the STREAM for exactly this kind of plug-in market. It's designed for you to ground-set in an afternoon; if you'd rather have it on your roof, our crew mounts it for $1,899 (kit included).
Why plug-in, why now
A typical Utah rooftop install costs $20,000–$30,000 and locks the homeowner into a 20-year loan. That math used to work when the federal tax credit covered 30% of it. The credit was killed in July 2025, and rooftop pricing didn't come down to fill the gap.
Plug-in is the version of solar that doesn't ask you to bet two decades of your finances on it. A kit costs less than a used motorcycle. You pay once. It pays itself back in under four years at current RMP rates. It unbolts in 30 minutes if you move. And because it offsets RMP's expensive tier-2 kWh (not the cheap first 400), every panel earns its keep faster than a rooftop economist would tell you.
It's not a replacement for full rooftop on a big house. It's the right product for the homeowner who's never owned solar before, or the rooftop owner who wants to add a small offset without touching their existing interconnection agreement, or the renter with an outdoor outlet and a sunny patch of yard.
How buying works
Pick a kit and check out, or text us and we'll qualify, quote, and invoice over text. Once payment clears, we pull your kit from a local Salt Lake warehouse and deliver within 1–3 days. Both kits ship ready for you to set up. If you added the roof install, we run a quick site survey first to confirm roof condition, orientation, and outlet placement before we schedule.
