Kenmore is one of Queensland's strongest solar communities, ranking 35th in the state — ahead of 92% of all Queensland postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. 591 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 12% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Kenmore's solar community avoids an estimated 85,383 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 40,659 cars off the road or powering around 17,077 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.
