Batlow ranks 432nd in New South Wales for solar installations — in the middle tier of 721 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 29 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 81% increase on the previous year, making Batlow one of New South Wales's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Batlow's 461 solar systems avoid an estimated 4,450 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,119 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.
