Northgate ranks 239th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 53 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 18% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Northgate's 836 solar systems avoid an estimated 8,275 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,940 cars from the road. This is estimated using Queensland's average grid emissions intensity of 810 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
