Question 1

1. Will The Solar Bird Bath Run All Year Round?

Accepted Answer

Well, you just need the weather to be bright and sunny for the solar birdbath to work all year. However, if you have long periods of cooler months with freezing temperatures that leave your area dark and foggy for days, you can expect the solar birdbath to slow down a bit. Its performance is also affected by places, weather, and seasons. But if you live in an area that enjoys sunlight the whole year-round, you can expect the solar birdbath to run during all months

Question 2

2. The Solar Birdbath Fountain Is Slightly Covered Up In The Shade. Why Does It Not Work Even Though It Is Getting Sunlight?

Accepted Answer

The solar panel holds multiple small solar cells that absorb the sunlight and create energy. Each of those dark-blue squares is combined in a series and carries its own voltage and amperage. When one small part of the solar panel is devoid of sunlight while the entire series of solar cells add up the voltage, it does not receive the needed amperage, leading to drop in the power. This is why the solar panels should always be placed in a bright, sunny area of the garden.

3. How Long Do The Batteries In A Solar Birdbath Fountain Last?

Accepted Answer

The life of a battery generally lasts for more than a year, and its lifecycle relies on the discharge cycles and goes down with repeated charge. One good way of boosting the battery is to leave the solar panel in the bright sun for a couple of days and allow the battery to charge maximum. In case you find that the battery is not charging fully, it is time to replace it.

Question 6

6. Is It Okay To Use Bigger Solar Panels To Power The Birdbath Fountain Faster?

Accepted Answer

Usually, the bigger solar panels are not compatible with the solar birdbath fountains, and therefore are not recommended. Moreover, the fountain pump is rated for a specific power current, and if the current exceeds, the pump may burn. However, one can use bigger solar panels to charge the batteries, but only when the fountain is off. You can leave the panel turned off for a day and let the batteries get fully charged before they are ready to use.
