There is a solar bird bath heater called the Solar Sipper, which is actually an entire drinking station that is solar powered. I will add it to the article so there is less confusion. Solar heaters can be found, they are just difficult to find.

Solar-powered fountains are usually less expensive to operate and require less maintenance than their electric counterparts. The benefits of a solar-powered fountain include: no wiring, no installation and no operating costs. Solar fountains usually rely on a built-in solar panel that powers the birdbath throughout the day and naturally, turns the water pump off at night.
