8,074 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 10% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Parkinson's 8,074 solar systems typically avoid around 50.03 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Parkinson is one of Queensland's strongest solar communities, ranking 41st in the state — ahead of 91% of all Queensland postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (347 systems, 15% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Parkinson's solar community avoids an estimated 79,919 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 38,057 cars off the road or powering around 15,984 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.
