Irrigatia Awarded a Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label
At Irrigatia, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are thrilled to announce that Irrigatia's irrigation kits have been awarded the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label, an award recognising businesses for providing clean and profitable solutions that fight climate change.
Our planet is going through a severe water crisis. Our automatic garden irrigation kits are designed to run on clean energy and combat the waste of resources. By using the power of the sun and harvesting rainwater, our system responds to weather conditions to supply plants with the optimal amount of water.
What Does a Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label Mean for Us?
Receiving the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label is a huge honour for us and we are proud to be able to add this label to all of our products in 2023.
The label is one of the first awards to consider both the environmental impact and financial viability of a business. To receive it, all submissions to the Solar Impulse Foundation are examined by a panel of over 400 leading experts from fields like clean energy, mobility, recycling, water, construction and more.
The experts evaluate the innovations in three main categories: ‘Feasibility’, ‘Environmental Compatibility’, and ‘Profitability’. This thorough process ensures that only truly green solutions with the potential to make a long-lasting, positive impact receive the label. It acts as a reliable indicator of quality for those making decisions in business and government.
Behind the label: The Solar Impulse Foundation
The Solar Impulse Foundation was founded in 2003 by the Swiss explorers Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, as a non-profit environmental project. Its mission is to identify, endorse and advance clean technologies that benefit society, as well as our planet.
Bertrand Piccard is best known for completing the first-ever flight around the world in a specially designed solar-powered aircraft, which he named the Solar Impulse.
In 2017, Piccard, alongside several partners, created what is now known as the Solar Impulse Foundation. With the launch of the #1000Solutions Challenge, the project’s initial aim was to find 1000 clean and efficient solutions to combat climate change and prove that switching to greener alternatives for dated, polluting systems is not only affordable but also a huge market opportunity.
In 2021, Piccard and his co-founders were able to complete this goal and the Solar Impulse Foundation has since continued to work with global innovators to challenge political leaders in their decision-making and champion the benefits of environmentally-responsible and energy-efficient technologies.
