Solar water features have never been so popular, as people have seen
for themselves the benefits of using solar power to power electric water pumps at friend's gardens and at garden centres. Using photovalvic solar cell technology, sun is converted into electricity which powers a small pump that can create fountains, cascades etc. Only five years ago the range of water features was limited and the solar panels were at least twice the size of solar panels today, and were less efficent in turning sun into electric power. The 'iconic' solar water feature which many of you will have seen is the Solar Terracotta Cascade, which is a few small dishes that are placed on a wire rack that surrounds a bowl. The water is pumped up to the top dish and lets gravity do the rest as the water flows over in the next dish below which continues until reaching the base bowl, from where water is taken and pumped up to the top dish. A simple but very effective process, which creates the relaxing sound of continuous running water. CONTINUES..... http://www.gardenandgreen.co.uk/#/so...cle/4529363007 |
