Texas Family Farm & Agricultural Ranch

Overview

A Texas family farm pairs Sol-Ark hybrid inverters with battery storage for resilience through ERCOT grid events and freeze emergencies.

The challenge

After repeated outages and a near-miss during Winter Storm Uri, the homeowners needed whole-property backup that protects livestock infrastructure, well pumps, and the residence.

The solution

Lumis deployed a Sol-Ark hybrid platform with battery storage sized for multi-day backup of essential loads, with seamless islanding when ERCOT events trigger outages.

Results

  • Whole-property resilience through grid disturbances
  • Reduced peak-rate consumption during summer
  • Predictable energy budget for the operation
