Does Anyone Have Solar Pond Information?

Posted only to Group

I'm looking for information about solar ponds for an article. I was able to find some information from the Do It Yourself Network about a solar fountain. Does anyone have some sources for a complete project they could recommend?

Gary, DANG! I read this somewhere and I can't remember where....I'll think about it.

I'll keep commenting to keep it towards the top of the group.

Stephanie, Thanks, I was reading an article yesterday where a local couple paid 200-300 per month for electricity for their backyard garden and ponds. There has to be a better way.

Gary, I posted the question on the Green Conversation post of Jeff's...and this is what came back.

Hi All--

This company has pretty cool stuff. Haven't used here in the mountains, so don't know about performance.... http://www.solarkey.com/index.asp

Hope that helps.

Stephanie, That's exactly the type of information I need. I also have some with 60 watt solar panels from Costco that might work for larger applications.

Gary - I looked at Tamara's link and they have some pretty cool stuff! My friend bought some solar yard lights last year at Family Dollar of all places. I think they were $16 per 1/2 doz. They work great, add a lot to the ambiance of her landscaping and don't cost her a dime to operate! I'll have to tell her about the solar pond idea! She has a pond and I know she would love it!

Mary, Thanks, I forgot completely about the post. I've been making comments on Jeff's. It's taken on a life of its own.
