Europes first solar installation in satellite dish
Axpo subsidiary CKW and Leuk TDC are breaking new ground in photovoltaics with satellite dishes converted into solar systems. At 1,000 metres above sea level, Leuk TDC is largely self-sufficient thanks to the satellite dishes and addi-tional solar panels on the roof of its data centre. Such innovative large-scale solar projects are an important step towards the transformation of Switzer-land's energy supply.
