3,644 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 10% in Victoria · data current as at 2026-05-15
Based on last week's Victoria grid mix (avg 980 gCO₂/kWh), Moe's 3,644 solar systems typically avoid around 27.32 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Moe is one of Victoria's strongest solar communities, ranking 49th in the state — ahead of 93% of all Victoria postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (159 systems, 41% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Moe's solar community avoids an estimated 43,640 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 20,781 cars off the road or powering around 8,728 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.
