A solar fountain can be an enchanting and lovely accessory to any yard or garden. Cascading waters have a calming effect and appeal both to the eyes, the heart and mind of the observer. Solar fountains combine the cooling effect of water with the warmth and power of fire, in which the sun symbolizes. These objects of serenity can also be unique and tasteful centerpieces for special occasions, such as dinner parties or weddings.
The sound of running water is very soothing and gives your yard the look and sound of a Japanese tea garden. It can be a stand along unit, or added to a pond along with fish and plants.
One of the special advantages of a solar fountain is that they are highly cost efficient, since they use the sun's energy, which is free and abundant. These fountains require only some cleaning occasionally for maintenance. The battery be replaced every 3-4 years depending on the use, but they are very affordable.
One more great advantage is the option to buy a battery which will allow the solar garden fountain to continue to work its romantic, relaxing magic even after sunset. With the battery, the fountain is able to store energy for later use, as well. So if this type of solar fountain is one that the homeowner desires, it is possible.
There are varying styles of these fountains, including floating fountains. The advantage of this style is that it is so compact, melding pump and solar panels as one unit. However, these will not be able to propel the water as high as can other solar fountain models.
A more typical solar fountain will have a solar pump. This is particularly advantageous if the fountain is set in the shade or shadows. The solar panel can be in the sun even while the pump is not. Pumps with diverse power settings and assorted attachable fountain heads are all available for purchase, too.
This gives the potential for a tremendously large variety of water flow styles, making it possible to meet nearly any preference the buyer might have.
Often customers who need large commercial fountains turn to solar as well. For subdivision entrances and large water features, complete solar power solutions are a great fit. They can be designed for nearly any size spray and can be combined with battery systems to run day and night. This is great alternative to digging and installing power lines to remote locations.
Solar garden fountains can be a great alternative for any home or business.
