Apollo Bay ranks 452nd in Victoria out of 713 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 245 registered systems to date. 19 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, Apollo Bay's 245 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,934 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,397 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.
