Auburn ranks 463rd in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 358 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 38 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 41% increase on the previous year, making Auburn one of New South Wales's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Auburn's 358 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,456 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,646 cars from the road. 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.
