Solar power in Scotland

Good morning,

Has anybody tried to use any solar-power pond devices such as an air pump or small fountain as far north as Scotland. It would be easy to face any solar panel south, but I am wondering if anybody has managed to make such devices work to any level of success before.

And, of course, if you have, what piece of equipment would you recommend please?

Thank you as always.

    I only have solar powered lights here. All my pond equipment is electric. If you are just using the fountain etc for decoration then it would be fine but if using it to aerate the pond for fish, electricity is much more reliable!
