Solar Powered pumps ?

I could be wrong, but the last time I looked into this it required a fairly large solar panel array to power a pump for a large pond/falls configuration. As I recall too many for practical pond use.

I have VERY small ponds (more like water features, I guess), but I do use solar pumps and air stones. Granted, my "ponds" are all under 60 gallons each.

The farm across from me uses wind turbine pumps and aerator for his pond .Pretty neat set up he has .
Does the AEO run at night? Can't see how unless it is hooked up to an expensive battery source. I guess daytime operation is fine as long as it is more of a water feature than a pond with fish.

@david will - welcome to the GPF! Interesting first post on the forum - are you a real person? Do you sell this product? Or am I speaking to a bot?

Wait I am so confused, You tagged him but the post does not exist?
and when I click on the tag, he doesn't have any posts, am I tripping, or what's going on??
As for the bot thing, who knows these days, for all you know I could be a bot, it's just such a strange world.

The two almost identical posts got tagged as spam, so therefore poofed away

appreciate the heads up. I don't get everything read at any one time.
That's probably the same bot that calls me saying the Govt is going to put me in jail unless I give it my credit card number!
Oh look! Another one! This must be a popular bot search term - the elusive solar powered pond pump.

And they didn't even post the info! How are we supposed to buy their stuff?
But wait! If you give your social security number and credit information you get both the solar pump and a box of expired fish food. Just pay extra for shipping.
