Grid intensity data: Open Electricity (openelectricity.org.au) · 7-day average · updates monthly

Harden ranks 565th in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 97 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (2 systems, 71% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Harden's solar systems avoid an estimated 936 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 446 fewer cars on the road annually. 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.
