Solar Fountains

1. If you have a large yard, you will appreciate the convenience and flexibility of a solar fountain. Since solar-powered fountains don't need to be plugged in to an electrical outlet, you can enjoy the sight and sound of gently flowing water from anywhere in your garden.

2. Photovoltaic cells capture sunlight and convert it into electricity to power the pump in your copper solar fountain. For your solar-powered fountain to flow, the solar panel must be in direct sun. If you live in a cloudy area or a neighborhood with lots of trees, solar power may not be the best option for you.

3. Although solar outdoor fountains often feature built-in panels, some include remote solar panels that can be positioned at some distance away. This allows you to place your solar-powered fountain in a shady spot as long as you keep the remote panel in the sun. Panels can even be mounted to a wall or on a wooden stake to give them better access to sunlight.

4. Solar power is the way to go for your pond or pool fountain. Solar fountains require no installation and usually have their solar panels built-in, so there are no cords to worry about. You can let your solar pond fountain float freely, or anchor it down with a rope and a rock.

5. Solar bird baths are environmentally friendly and need virtually no maintenance. The solar panel has no moving parts or toxic materials, and the electricity is generated with no emissions, no fuel, and no noise. Solar-powered water fountains are the perfect addition to your organic garden!
