1,038 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked bottom 50% in Australian Capital Territory · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's Australian Capital Territory grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Canberra's 1,038 solar systems typically avoid around 6.27 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Canberra ranks 17th in Australian Capital Territory out of 28 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 1,038 registered systems to date. 72 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 16% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Canberra's solar community avoids an estimated 10,021 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 4,772 cars off the road or powering around 2,004 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Australian Capital Territory's average grid emissions intensity of 790 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
