any one know about ponds and solar panels?

hi guys, any techy's out there,
want to build a bigger pond for our ducks, we have no power at the allotment, and would need some kind of airation system. we were thinking of some kind of water fall maybe a meter high two meters long, running off a solar panel. any ideas?

You'd be hard pushed to get a pump that can run of a solar panel & lift water toa 1m head Yoanbob.

They may be able to throw some sunlight on the problem

I agree I used to work in the aquatics trade and you would be very hard pushed to find a suitable pump (it would also be very expensive) Try oase pumps though I seem to remember they did a large panel. Failing that why not just have a couple of the solar panel floating fountain ones I imagine the ducks would love them

Thanks guys, will check out those links,
i'm sure the ducks would love a fountain, not sure the fountain would like the ducks. they are quite boistrous in the water.
even our four babies.
