2,051 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-06-15
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Tingalpa's 2,051 solar systems typically avoid around 12.71 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Tingalpa ranks 166th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 94 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 1% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
The combined impact is substantial: Tingalpa's solar community avoids an estimated 20,302 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 9,668 cars off the road or powering around 4,060 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.
