1,610 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Chelmer's 1,610 solar systems typically avoid around 9.98 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Chelmer ranks 189th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (90 systems, 11% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Chelmer's solar community avoids an estimated 15,936 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 7,589 cars off the road or powering around 3,187 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.
