7,290 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 5% in New South Wales · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's New South Wales grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Mount Druitt's 7,290 solar systems typically avoid around 44.06 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Mount Druitt is one of New South Wales's strongest solar communities, ranking 29th in the state — ahead of 96% of all New South Wales postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (409 systems, 62% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Mount Druitt's solar community avoids an estimated 70,377 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 33,513 cars off the road or powering around 14,075 average Australian homes with clean electricity. 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.
