Solar or Battery fountain and pond pumps are low voltage pumps. However, often customers will order the low voltage ac pumps, assuming they will work with solar panels or battery connection. That will not work. If you are looking for a pump that will work with a solar panel or a battery, you will need a low voltage dc pump. The low voltage ac pumps must connect to an ac transformer that plugs into a regular household electrical outlet.
The little battery operated pumps are great for science projects, company parties and weddings. For outdoor fountains or small ponds, where absolutely no electricity is available, the larger solar pumps work great with solar panels.
The low voltage ac pumps work great in outdoor applications also because you can run long lengths of low voltage cord without an amp drop, similar to low voltage lighting.
