don't know if this wil help..but I just bought a water feature with solar pump for the bottom of the garden as putting in electric would be too much hard work( basic boring teracotta urn and bowl from B & q) and was surprised how little sun is needed to get the pump working and how strong the water flow was.

The only drawback is that due to the direction of the sun I have to move the solar panel as the sun rises over

The price does seem to vary considerably, so any help would be
gratefully received. So far, i've found the following sites:-

http://www.solarpumps.co.uk/rechargeable.asp

I'm not an expert, and don't want to spend too much time on this, so
the simpler the better!

Many thanks in advance
