The Solaiyar Dam is part of the Solaiyar Hydroelectric Project (HEP). The project comprises the main Soliayar Dam, the Solaiyar Flanking, and the Solaiyar Saddle Dam.

Upper Solaiyar or Upper Sholayar Dam ({{lang|ta|சோழையார்}} {{transl|ta|ISO|Shozhaiyaar}}) is located {{convert|20|km|abbr=on}} from Valparai, a hill station in the Anaimalai Hills of the Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu India. As it is a part of the hydroelectric project of Tamil Nadu, special permission is required to visit the dam.

Valparai is located {{convert|64|km|abbr=on}} from Pollachi and {{convert|55|km|abbr=on}} from Chalakudy, Kerala. The nearest railway station is Chalakkudy.

The Solaiyar dam is a vital reservoir under the Parambikulam Aliyar Project and has a water storage capacity of {{convert|160|ft|abbr=on}}. The reservoir's overflowing waters are let into the Parambikulam Reservoir through the saddle dam.[1]

It was constructed by a team working under K. Gopalswamy Mudhaliar{{cn|date=October 2017}}, the most popular engineer in that area.
