Place this elegant solar power water fountain on any patio, or garden for a traditional look, but with modern durable materials. Plus, no plumbing is required; once the feature is assembled, simply connect the cord from the pump to the solar panel and place the panel in direct sunlight. No more unsightly extension cords running across the yard and hogging those plugins; just mount and conceal the panel in a sunny place and enjoy! The solar with battery backup option allows this fountain to harness energy even when there is no sunlight! The rechargeable battery pack charges throughout the day (with or without the fountain running) so the gentle water sounds can be enjoyed in the evening as well.
