Usually, small & big dams are built to stop the river water. But the surprising thing is that a dam has been built in the European country of Switzerland, it is not a water dam but a solar dam.

A solar dam built in the clouds generates solar electricity during winter when energy is needed. It generates 33 lakh kilowatts of electricity every hour which is enough to power 700 families.

2

This solar dam will continue to provide uninterrupted energy especially in the winter season when the hydro power production is reduced.

Lake Muttsee Dam is built at an altitude of 8000 feet above sea level and is surrounded by snow mountains.

Solar panels are arranged in such a way to get sunlight despite the environment around them. A wall of solar panels has been installed above the clouds to get more and more sunshine.

Apart from this, the sun's rays are reflected from the ice and fall on the solar panels. Three times more electricity is generated on solar panels.

6

It has a total of 5000 solar panels while the target is to install a total of 4200 panels by 2030 which will generate 1.2 GW of solar electricity every year.

This type of solar dam can prove to be an important source of energy for Europe, which is facing an energy crisis because of the strained relations with Russia after the Ukraine war.

Switzerland is emphasizing pollution-free solar power generation to bridge the gap between electricity production and consumption.

A solar dam designed by a Swiss energy farm is attracting attention. If solar panel dams are prepared, clean energy will be available in the form of solar energy.
