Turramurra ranks 275th in New South Wales for solar installations — in the middle tier of 721 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 115 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 19% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Turramurra's solar community avoids an estimated 11,488 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 5,470 cars off the road or powering around 2,298 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using New South Wales's average grid emissions intensity of 790 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
