Abstract
A rechargeable battery operated solar pump kit is provided including a solar panel to provide solar power via an electrical terminal, an inline submersible pump and a control box containing a pipe fitting, a rechargeable battery, an electrical fitting and an on/off switch. The inline submersible pump passes through a rain barrel, having a hose to discharge rainwater from the rain barrel, and a power cord, which is coupled to the rechargeable battery. The pipe fitting couples to the hose to receive the pumped rainwater and to a garden hose to provide the pumped rainwater. The electrical fitting couples the rechargeable battery to the electrical terminal of the solar panel and receives solar power to recharge the rechargeable battery. The on/off switch couples the rechargeable battery and the power cord to turn the inline submersible pump on/off to pump the rainwater.
