Auchenflower ranks 149th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 185 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 70% increase on the previous year, making Auchenflower one of Queensland's faster-growing solar postcodes.
The combined impact is substantial: Auchenflower's solar community avoids an estimated 24,023 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 11,440 cars off the road or powering around 4,805 average Australian homes with clean electricity. 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.
