Forster ranks 558th in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 121 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (6 systems, 33% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Forster's 121 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,168 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 556 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.
