Not only do these beautiful and calming fixtures cost the same, if not a little higher, as the conventional type of fountains; but they also allow you to save a significant amount of power since they take advantage of free energy derived from the rays of the sun. Consequently, you are able to enjoy a much smaller electric bill that you need to pay every month.

Since they are sun powered thru the use of sun-powered panels, this only means that no expensive electricity is used to operate them.

This will make sure that maximum amount of sunlight with hit the panels, collecting ample amounts of energy and providing the necessary power to effectively run your garden devices. It is certainly so much fun to see the graceful movements of waters that comes from such alternative powered water fixtures, but what is amazing is to realize that this happens because of the free and renewable energy from the sun.

I have been searching the web for several hours and cannot find a small and simple pump/panel like the one shown on Solar Power News for 11/01.
I do not need any other parts like bird baths or clay pots.

I have recently introduced some Solar Powered Fountains into my garden. Although not as powerful as electric powered pumps, for gentle flowing garden water features (trickles and cascades) these are perfect for their purpose.
