Pakenham ranks 330th in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 30 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 11% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Pakenham's 553 solar systems avoid an estimated 6,623 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,154 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.
