This is the Stade De Swiss, in Berlin, Switzerland. It’s the largest solar-powered stadium in the world.
It contains a total of 10738 solar cells, thanks to a recent addition of 2808 cells. All these cells generate an impressive 1.3 megawatts, and get this, it’s expected to generate a whopping 1.134 gigawatt-hours of electricity.
All this electricity is designed to power the stadium, but could power as many as 350 homes. It will help to reduce 630 tons of CO2 annually.
This kind of dedication to green energy is impressive, and I congratulate the owners of the stadium for embracing the technology. Considering the amount of power taken up by stadiums, this is a big step forward.
…and who knows, with that kind of power they could even generate another source of revenue for the stadium and supply green power to the neighborhood.
