Sunnydaze 65 GPH Solar Pump and Panel Kit with Battery & Light - 47" Lift

Solar doesn’t appear to work without battery

Hi, love this replacement for our solar water fountain but noticed that when in solar mode the water doesn’t turn on to run only during the battery mode.

Bird bath solar pump

I haven't put it together yet

Works great for a challenging solution

I used the "Solar Pump and Solar Panel Kit With Battery Pack and LED Light, 65 GPH, 47-Inch Lift" to flow water through an antique porcelain sink. The pump is in the porcelain base of the sink and acts as a reservoir. The pump is attached to a tube the feeds antique faucets filling the sink. The drain is piped back into the reservoir forming a water loop. The pump and kit works great for this challenging solution. Question: Can I piggy back another solar panel on to my existing panel? I would like to have one panel face south west and panel another face south east to get more hours of operation.
