Frankston South ranks 344th 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 (25 systems, 31% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Frankston South's 538 solar systems avoid an estimated 6,443 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,068 cars from the road. 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.
