Solar Power Questions:
Do bird baths with solar heaters really exist?
I know solar powered bird baths exist. . .to cascade or fountain or sprinkle water. However, I have been unable to find one that heats the water with solar power. What is amazing, is I literally read articles that reference solar heated bird baths, but then when I try to find them, they do not exist!
moving water freezes much slower than still water. so a solar fountain type that cascades the water will not freeze as quickly as one without a fountain.
the sun itself is a solar heater, isn't it.......the obvios problem is providing heat after dark. the only way for a solar heater to work after the sun goes down is to have some way to store power, so my guess is a solar heated birdbath doesn't really exist, and if it does it would cost you a pretty penny
