Any decent solar equipment out there?

[rintintin]

I've read a little on here and elsewhere, about Solar equipment not being very functional/practical/dependable, but are there any smaller things that are solar powered and dependable? Like a solar powered pump for an air stone? Or lights that just charge all day and then last through the night?

Just trying to figure out if there's any solar items that are worth it... anything I can do to reduce the amount of energy the pond will be using?

I picked up some from home depot (solar lights) they have been running for a year now.

i have solar lights also...had them before the pond. got them at Big Lots (one of my favorite stores)...2 packs $8.99 they still work great!! I remove the batteries during winter and peak charge them on a quality charger.
