Kyneton ranks 269th in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 44 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.
The combined impact is substantial: Kyneton's solar community avoids an estimated 10,167 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 4,841 cars off the road or powering around 2,033 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.
