Tingalpa ranks 167th 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 121 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 48% increase on the previous year, making Tingalpa one of Queensland's faster-growing solar postcodes.
The combined impact is substantial: Tingalpa's solar community avoids an estimated 20,747 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 9,880 cars off the road or powering around 4,149 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.
