Mount Waverley is one of Victoria's strongest solar communities, ranking 41st in the state — ahead of 94% of all Victoria postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. 322 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 17% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Mount Waverley's solar community avoids an estimated 47,987 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 22,851 cars off the road or powering around 9,597 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.
