You can opt to buying from a home store wherein the package comes already with the solar panel which is responsible in converting the sunlight into an energy that makes the fountain run 24/7 without any cost. Or you can opt to build your own.

So here are the simple steps that you can follow in building your own solar powered water fountain:
First step, make up your mind as to what type or kind of fountain do you want for you garden. Once decide make up your mind whether you would want to create and design your own or purchase a pre made fountain which can be found in any home store or even online. And for those who are creating their own you would also need to purchase a pump for your solar powered water fountain but for those who would be opting to buy the pre made ones, need not to worry because it usually comes with the package.
Second step is very important for us to make sure that our solar water fountains will be working just fine. We need to know the power requirement of the water pump that we are using. More often than not it is expressed in watts. You can refer to the manual that comes along with the kit for more electrical specifications.
Third step is easy. We just need to now purchase the solar panel that matches the electrical needs and specifications of the solar powered water fountain. You can check on the stores or online.
Fourth step is assembling. Properly assemble the water fountain and the water pump and then connect the solar panel to the water fountain. You can again refer to the manufacturer’s manual for the steps. And from this point, you’ll be now able to run the water fountain provided you did the assembling correctly.
And for the last step, make sure that you position the water fountain in a location wherein it receives directly sunlight for around 6-8 hours a day to be able to store enough power and keep your solar powered water fountain running 24/7.
