50-Acre Family Ranch in Avon, Utah
AES RACKMOUNT / SLIMLINE: Family Ranch in Avon, Utah
OVERVIEW
Nestled on 50 acres at the end of a utility circuit in rural Utah, this family ranch faced the persistent challenges of unreliable power. Outages were frequent, which left the property without dependable electricity for daily living or family gatherings. With recreational amenities that include a fishing pond and a river, ATV and snowmobile trails, and abundant wildlife, the family wanted an energy system as resilient as the land itself.
Their priorities were clear: reliable backup power for emergencies, improved efficiency to reduce consumption, and a worry-free environment where extended family could come together year-round.

With scalable capacity, intelligent monitoring, and the UL9540-certified Slimline Enclosure with AES RACKMOUNT batteries, the overall system delivers robust energy resilience.
