We honestly can’t believe it’s been a year already.
One of the best parts of building Zower has been seeing what can happen when good customers trust us to find the right solution, even when it isn’t necessarily the obvious one.
For the past ten months, we’ve been supporting Ian and Sarah at Constable Park, an off-grid adventure centre and café powered by solar, battery storage and a backup generator.
Their original battery system has done an incredible job for nine years, but it has gradually reached the point where it can no longer hold the capacity the site needs. Recently, that decline started accelerating and the generator was running almost constantly, right as Constable Park entered its busiest time of year.
Ian and Sarah had already decided to replace it and will become the first customers to receive our new CaroVolt system, with delivery planned for early August. We’ll be sharing much more about CaroVolt soon, but the immediate challenge was keeping Constable Park operating efficiently through its peak season without rushing the build of their new system.
By chance, we had just finished refurbishing one of Dawsongroup’s SolarPods. We fitted new batteries and reworked the system to make it better suited to the way their customers actually use these units.
Rather than simply returning it to Dawsongroup, we spoke to everyone involved and came up with a plan.
Dawsongroup gained a new hire, Constable Park received the temporary power solution they urgently needed, and we gained the time to finish their CaroVolt properly rather than rushing something so important.
Seeing the SolarPod behind the Defender and taking it straight from our workshop into a real application felt like a pretty special moment for us.A massive thank you to Ian and Sarah for continuing to put their trust in us, and to everyone at Dawsongroup for working with us to make it happen.
It’s a simple example of what Zower has always been about: good people, practical thinking and finding a way to keep our customer happy and their lights on!

The first CaroVolt is now officially on its way, and we’ll be sharing more as the build progresses and it prepares for delivery in August.
