Lightning Ridge ranks 453rd in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 374 registered systems to date. 6 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 0% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
Collectively, Lightning Ridge's 374 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,611 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,720 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.
