Chesbro Electric
Solar & backup power

Solar, generators and backup power for Wyoming.

From Buffalo and nearby northern Wyoming communities, Chesbro Electric helps customers plan practical solar, battery and generator solutions—then supports those systems with installation insight and recurring service where it makes sense.

Two specialties · Separate services

Looking for solar power or generator backup?

Choose the service that fits your property. Solar and generators can work together in a properly designed hybrid system, but each deserves its own detailed planning process.

Generator system design

Be ready when the grid goes down.

Standby and backup power systems work best when they are designed around the loads, the site and the expectations for how the system should perform during an outage.

Load planning

We help identify what needs to stay on, what can wait and how to build a practical backup strategy.

Equipment selection

Standby generators, transfer equipment and related components sized to the property and application.

Installation planning

Real-world coordination for location, electrical integration and long-term access for service.

Recurring support

Recurring generator service programs

Installation is only part of the picture. Our recurring generator service programs are designed for customers who want ongoing maintenance and a practical service relationship after the system is in place.

  • Routine oil, filter, air filter and spark plug service
  • Battery checks and basic operational testing
  • Recurring annual or periodic maintenance planning
  • Support for homes, businesses and working properties
Backup power & protection

Real equipment. Real installations.

Backup power is more than the generator itself. Transfer equipment, service integration and electrical protection all have to work together as a system.

Solar system design

Make the most of the power available.

Solar systems are not one-size-fits-all. We help customers think through energy use, site conditions, backup goals and whether battery storage should be part of the plan.

Grid-tied solar

Practical solar planning for customers who want to offset utility power while staying connected to the grid.

Off-grid & hybrid systems

Solutions for remote properties, backup flexibility and sites where energy independence matters.

Battery storage planning

Thoughtful integration of stored power, critical loads and overall system behavior.

Project examples

Solar work shaped by the site.

Ground-mount systems and rural sites require practical decisions about layout, access and long-term performance.

A little clarity goes a long way

Good design starts with the site and the customer.

We focus on practical planning—what the property needs, what the customer expects and how the system should function in the real world.

Understand the loads.

Identify what matters most and how the system should respond during normal use and outages.

Understand the site.

Work through layout, access, exposure, equipment locations and property-specific constraints.

Choose a practical system.

Match the design to the goals, the budget and the long-term maintenance expectations.

Frequently asked

Common questions about solar and generators.

Do you only install systems, or do you help with design too?

We also help with lighting, solar and generator system design so the installation starts with a workable plan instead of guesswork.

Do you offer recurring generator service after installation?

Yes. Recurring generator service programs are part of what we do, especially for customers who want their backup power maintained on a regular schedule.

Can you help decide between generator backup and solar plus batteries?

Yes. That decision depends on the loads, the location, the budget and what you want the system to do. We help customers think that through in a practical way.
