Postcode 2906 ranks 9th in Australian Capital Territory for solar installations — in the middle tier of 28 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 180 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 14% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Postcode 2906's solar community avoids an estimated 28,914 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 13,769 cars off the road or powering around 5,783 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.
