Solar powered aeration systems are the ideal choice for remote ponds and lakes where power is not available, too expensive, or simply if you are in a windless area and have lots of sun; it is also an environmentally conscious solution.
Solar direct systems operate at maximum efficiency when sun is striking the solar panels. On cloudy days, even during daylight hours, the system will function but at a low capacity.
Direct These systems are best used in sunny bright locations and in ponds with a maximum depth of 6 feet. Despite the limitations of solar direct systems which operate without batteries they offer excellent aeration and are better than having no system at all. If you have no AC power available or want to add an aeration system that doesn't cost any money to operate then these small solar direct systems are a perfect choice and come as a complete plug-and-play package.
