Plug and Play - Sun Power For Your Garden Ornaments

Have you ever considered a garden water fountain but were put off because of the hassle of installing the electric cable necessary to run the pump. Very often, people visualize having to dig trenches to lay power cables to the fountain; digging up plants to get the cable laid in. they may have considered using a professional installer do the work but the cost was a factor. Then there is the cost of running the pump continuously.

There is a very simple solution, Solar Power.

Solar fountains are as any conventional fountain in appearance and purpose, with the exception that the power to run the fountain comes from a solar panel rather than an electrical outlet. The solar panel converts sunlight into electrical power, which then drives the pump that distributes water in the fountain.

Solar water fountains are powered by solar energy straight from the sun, they are eco-friendly and do not use non-renewable fossil fuels. That is a significant attraction in itself. Although some of the low end models will not operate when there is no sun, most solar water fountains come with a battery pack which stores enough energy to operate throughout the dark hours.

Solar powered fountains are inexpensive. Their costs are comparable to any other conventional fountain, but without the running cost added to your electric bill. Since solar fountains work on sunlight, there is no mains electricity required and so they do not need to be located near any power source.

Solar fountains are extremely user-friendly and easy to set up and most will need little or no installation. Because solar water fountains are constructed as a single piece, there is never any worry about getting inside to repair anything. Solar fountains are an easy DIY project for any skill level. You literally connect the two wires from a PV module with the two wires of a DC pump motor, and hey presto.

Solar water fountains can be installed in a jiffy without causing you undue worry about the cable and wiring. Simply select a location in your garden where you want to place the fountain and set it up simply and easily.

Solar powered fountains are made from many different materials in the same way that conventional fountains are. The only difference is the power source.

Made from stone, slate, marble, copper, bronze and even resin or fiberglass outdoor water fountains come in an almost unlimited number of designs. There are so many different features that range from the traditional tiered fountains to cascading waterfalls. A wall in or around you garden or patio is the ideal place for an outdoor wall fountain powered by solar energy.

I know several people who have installed a solar water fountain in their garden are very satisfied with the result.

Solar Garden fountains can be incorporated into practically any garden design, and the sight and sound of moving water is just so relaxing. Even in a small city garden, the gentle trickling sound of water has the power to soothe and inspire, creating a tranquil escape from the noisy world outside and helping to wash away our worries.
