So you’ve planned the perfect back yard garden from pathways and pavings, all the way to drought tolerant shrubs and flowers. Just remember one of the most important things essential for a well designed garden is the lighting system and water feature enhancements. So many people get to this point and decide digging trenches for electrical cables, remembering to use the off and on switch, and paying higher utility bills is something they can live without. But suppose you could choose the perfect garden fountain, decide the exact position for it in your landscape, including lights to show it off and not have to worry about providing electrical outlets to make it all work. Just suppose that there was a perfect solution, a solar powered outdoor fountain, the answer that would provide the energy to run a quiet pump all day long, provide a pleasing aesthetic look, use low voltage and be placed out of sight, away from the actual fountain. You’ve probably guessed by now we are talking about one of the most wonderful technological advances of our time, solar power. Every day the sun covers the earth with approximately 1,000 watts of solar energy per square meter of the earth. This energy is either reflected by the surface of the earth or absorbed. If a solar panel is located where the sun’s energy can be absorbed, the panel will convert the energy to electrical energy. If a fountain pump is energized by solar energy it will run continually at no cost. There are some negatives to solar energy of course, if the sun doesn’t shine there is no energy to absorb so the pump may stop. The panel must be located in a place of direct sun. The good news is, the sun will shine again and the fountain pump will start again, without any servicing. The solar pump itself requires very little if any maintenance and installation is simply plug it into the solar source. Please browse and choose a fountain from our unique collection of solar powered outdoor fountains or a solar fountain conversion kit. If you have questions, we can help.
