solar pond filter?
Discussion
Yes. I've got a couple of Liberty ones. https://blagdonwatergardening.co.uk/product/solar-...
Seem ok. They come with a float but it doesn't hang vertically so I've just cable tied mine to bricks in the pond.
Apparently they'll pump to 4 feet high but I haven't tested it because my ponds are so small that the challenge is keeping the spray within the pond not having an impressive fountain.
You can set the pumps to be off, on for as long as the charge lasts or, as I do, to come on at the same time each day and run for 4 hours. Mine come on at 6 in the evening and when it gets dark the LEDs come on and light up the fountain.
Occasionally they get a bit of grit in the pump which has to be disassembled and cleaned but that's a simple job.

Did you mean solar filter or fountain?
I’m the same, I’m not really able to get mains down to the pond in my garden so would have liked a solar filter, but they don’t seem to exist.
I did wonder about making a filter using a solar fountain pump and filtering through gravel etc but haven’t got round to it.
