International Day of Climate Action - Be the change!

Climate change is the most urgent challenge humanity faces today. We cannot keep delaying our efforts to save the planet. The International Day of Climate Action is not a day for celebration, but a call to action. It’s a reminder that we must start making a difference in our everyday lives. Every one of us, today. But first, let’s clarify what climate change is and how we can start acting.

What is climate change?

According to the United Nations, Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Burning fossil fuels releases significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These emissions act like a thick blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and causing global temperatures to rise. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, is a major driver of climate change. We burn fossil fuels to a big extent for energy generation. Every kWh you consume at home affects our climate in a negative way.

Start making the difference today with renewable energy

International Day of Climate Action is celebrated every October 24th and is dedicated to raising awareness about the urgent need to address climate change. To stop the destruction of the planet we live in, every one of us needs to take climate action. Today is the day to remember that and act. With a Robinsun plugin solar kit you can produce your own clean and renewable energy from home. It has never been so easy, just take a few minutes to install it on your balcony, terrace, wall, roof or garden. Then plug it in the nearest socket and start using that energy on your appliances and daily energy consumptions, moving away from the use and dependence on fossil energy. It’s not just talking about climate action, but starting to act today. Every plugin solar kit that produces energy is a step towards making a real change.

For the first time, doing good is the cheapest option

Taking action against climate change usually means incurring extra expenses, whether it’s opting for an eco-friendly version of a product or paying more for a service that doesn’t pollute. Now, for the very first time, you can save money while doing something good! By using a Robinsun plugin solar kit, you can generate your own solar energy and save money at the same time. Yes, you heard that right. While you are helping the planet, you are also reducing your power bills each month. With the savings you accumulate each month, you will pay off the investment in your solar kit. For example, in Spain, a Robinsun Performance 800 plugin solar kit with a 20° mount produces up to 1.951 kWh per year. At an average power price of €0,23/kWh you save €458 per year (1.951 kWh x €0,23/kWh = €€458). Our kits are so affordable that they will pay for themselves in less than 2 years. After that, your kit will keep producing free solar energy for you every day for up to 30 years, saving you €13.740 during its lifetime. Start calculating your savings with our Savings Calculator.

• Optimize your energy use at home: Use energy-efficient appliances and choose the right time of your energy usage, like doing laundry on sunny days when your solar panels are at peak energy production.
• Opt for sustainable transportation like walking, biking, or using public transport to significantly reduce emissions. Also consider switching to an electric vehicle (EV), and reduce air travel.
• Repair, reduce and recycle to minimize waste and conserve resources. Also, choose long-lasting products. A Robinsun plugin solar kit has a 30-year lifetime.
• Cut down on food waste and keep your environment clean.
