Just wondering if anyone's ever used or installed a solar-powered pump
for a garden pond. Are they any good at all or (as I rather suspect)
pretty useless except in full and powerful sunlight?

Most solar stuff doesn't run directly off sunlight these days. They
have rechargeable AA batteries which are charged by the sun, then used
to run the lights/pump/whatever.

If you can get one where the solar cell is on a separate cable, that can
be placed in direct sunlight.
