As you would expect from the name, a solar powered bird bath runs off the power of sunlight. Because of this there are no batteries to install, and no costly power lines to run. This allows you to install one in places that would not be possible with a typical powered fountain.

The power for a solar powered bird bath comes from solar cells, which are small panels that take solar energy and convert it to electrical power. This also means there are some areas that won't work well. Hiding one in the shade of a tree or under a large awning won't work, and on rainy or cloudy days they won't work well either. But those are days you are less likely to be outside anyhow. And, of course, operation at night is not an option either. Some units come with a detachable or remote solar panel, so the placement of the fountain itself is not limited to only sunny areas.
Here's a quick video that shows a solar powered bird bath in action.
For those areas that freeze in the winter, you need to follow the manufacturers directions regarding operation in cold weather. You may need to house it in a warm place like the garage or basement.
