A SOLAR FOUNTAIN is a great addition to any garden. There are many styles and sizes to choose from, all of which are beautiful and classy. These fountains run solely on solar energy, and do not require any electricity. Since they attract birds, they can be used as solar bird baths in addition to fountains!

Indeed, they create a relaxing atmosphere in any garden or patio.

These fountains really do not need to be “installed” in the typical sense, as they require no wiring or complicated assembling.

They do, however, come with mounting kits to make the set-up process simple. Some of them, such as the Duo Solar Cascading Fountain, also come with AC adapters for indoor use. When setting your fountain up, all you need to do is mount it in an area of your yard where it will be under direct sunlight.

Even though they do not require a great deal of maintenance, you should still keep an eye on a few things. For starters, a battery is required in order for solar fountains to work at night. On cloudy days, extra solar panels may be needed to provide additional power. They are not required, but you should still have an extra panel or two just in case.

It is essential that the panel(s) remain under direct sunlight. Some are integrated into the fountains, and others are separate. If you order the fountain and panel as separate pieces, the latter needs to be placed directly under the sun. In this case, you can place the fountain anywhere, as it will still receive power from the panel.

The prices vary according to size, design, and make. Some of the most popular include Smart Solar Zen fountains, Duo Solar Cascading models, and Belize Solar Birdbath fountains. The price for these models ranges from $89 to $249. Some solar fountain styles are designed to standalone on pedestals some can float on ponds or in pools, and some double as lanterns.

Clearly, there is so much to choose from, so you should be able to find the perfect solar fountain for your yard or garden!
