Fountains create a calming atmosphere in any garden. It gives individuals a certain feeling of peace and serenity. But of course that feeling is temporary and will not last when you get your power bill. But with solar powered fountains, now you don't have to worry about power bill, or even plugs and wires.
The solar panel for the fountains could be installed in a couple of different ways. Some manufacturers use a patented, integral, underwater solar panel. It would be integrated in the top part or bowl of the fountains and would face directly up towards the sun. Still other fountains use a remote solar panel that has a 10 foot cord affixed. This allows increased flexibility when considering where to place the solar panel. The remote solar panels can be mounted on a wall or making use of the stand provided, on a flat surface. They can also be stake mounted into the ground.
Solar fountains are really not all that complicated so installation is a breeze. There are no costs to operate these fountains because they use the sun's energy. They require no external electricity, are environmentally friendly and enjoy a very long life. To maintain them just clean the fountain with a mild soap and water solution from time to time. The solar panel needs to be positioned in direct sunlight for the fountain to operate properly. If you have a shady spot where you want to install it then fountains with a remote panel would be the best choice. The fountain could be mounted in the shade but the solar panel in the direct sun. If the solar panel is mounted in the top of the fountains then it would need to be located where it would get direct sunlight. Proper placement is critical to the operation of the solar fountains.
Solar powered garden fountains provide the sound of running water creating a cool, relaxing atmosphere. They do this at a reasonable price with virtually no operational costs, all in all another great use for solar power. Prices of solar fountains range from $79 to $250 and there are not a lot of extra options to worry about. One such option is an AC adapter so they can operate in the winter or at night. Not all solar fountains have this option but it is a consideration for the ones that do.
Solar powered garden fountains are normally made of glazed ceramic, terracotta or stone cast resin. The stone cast resin material will have a grey stone, black iron or bronze finish. A number of the fountains are made of more exotic materials such as slate or copper. There are also several kinds of solar fountains to be considered. Two tiered and three tiered are very popular but there are cascading fountains and pouring fountains as well. Solar powered birdbath fountains are very appealing and have also become quite popular. All of them will make the soothing sound of running water using power from the sun.
