Darwin ranks 30th in Northern Territory out of 46 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 43 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 2 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 100% increase on the previous year, making Darwin one of Northern Territory's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Darwin's solar systems avoid an estimated 336 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 160 fewer cars on the road annually. This is estimated using Northern Territory's average grid emissions intensity of 640 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
