1,045 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Victoria · data current as at 2026-06-15
Based on last week's Victoria grid mix (avg 980 gCO₂/kWh), Jacana's 1,045 solar systems typically avoid around 7.83 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Jacana ranks 238th in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (53 systems, 26% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Jacana's solar community avoids an estimated 12,515 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 5,960 cars off the road or powering around 2,503 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Victoria's average grid emissions intensity of 980 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
