Portable Power
and Water Stations
The ROVER Off-Grid Pod is designed for anyone needing clean water and power, anywhere, anytime. ROVERs rugged containerised design means it can be delivered anywhere in Australia or the planet giving you total Off Grid capability.
A first, following years of R&D, we’ve taken away the hassle, making Off-grid a simple realty. The ROVER Off-Grid Pod is fully scalable and customisable with everything you need including a full Off Grid Power system combined with water collection, storage and processing in a single, transportable "POD" you simply connect to your Tiny Home or any existing structure.
We have a full range of Off-Grid Power and Water systems designed to integrate into your tiny home or other project.
The ROVER system fits entirely inside a 10ft, 20ft or 40ft shipping container and is equipped with all the hardware needed to produce renewable energy, fresh clean water and the option of waste water treatment- anywhere . Wherever you are and whatever you’re connecting to, we have a complete and simple solution.
We only use Tier 1 components and equipment giving you complete peace of mind and reliability when you need it most.

Diesel Back-up Generator
Acting as an efficient auxiliary power supply to make sure you never go without
Battery Pack
The useable electricity can be used for as you need it or stored in the internal battery system for later use
Integrated inverter
The direct current produced by the solar panels is converted by the integrated inverter into useable electricity
Water treatment system
Some of the electricity is used to filter and sterilise untreated water and then distribute the clean water when needed
Water storage
The large integrated storage system holds untreated water to be purified as needed
Water harvest system
Untreated water can be collected by the integrated rain capture system or from external sources such as an external tank, dam, river, or even the ocean
Solar Panel Array
The solar panel captures and transforms the sun’s energy into direct current
A compact, scalable, All-In-One solution to provide renewable energy and clean water anywhere you need it.
Easy Setup & Maintenance
The self contained unit was designed to be installed and maintained by anyone using a basic set of tools.
Rugged Portable Design
Durable containerised system, extensive R&D, industry leading components and industrial paint coatings enables the ROVER system to operate in extreme environments.
Upgradable
Completely scalable, simply add more solar panels, batteries, back up generator, water desalination or a waste water system to create a custom solution to suit any application
Cost Effective
Solar energy is a renewable resource and is about 40% more cost effective than fossil fuels to create electricity and much less than the cost of arranging remote Grid Power connections.
Remote Access Diagnostics
Using an internet connection the ROVER system can be remotely accessed on your phone from anywhere in the world to check on power generation and system health.
Environmentally Friendly
The electricity a ROVER system can generate in one year prevents around 1.97 tons of Co2 from polluting the atmosphere using traditional generation methods.

See what others are saying about Rover -
We looked at a wide range of different solutions and off-grid bits. Trying to make sense of going off-grid was frustrating but these guys have nailed it!
At last someone has made going off-grid simple. It was so simple and easy to set up and connect to our tiny home. Thanks guys- finally you've made it so easy!
Jane
Thank you! The cost of getting mains power connected to our remote section was ridiculous.
The Off Grid Pod saved us thousands and was super easy to connect up with everything already pre-installed and connected ready to go.
Phil and Sarah
Such a great concept! We opted for the Max+ option with additional battery storage and a back up generator. The system has worked faultlessly and we've never run out of power despite living here full time and using the A/C.
The remote access is great to see whats happening when we're not there- Awesome!!
