1,076 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), Palm Beach's 1,076 solar systems typically avoid around 6.67 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Palm Beach ranks 219th 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 (57 systems, 7% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Palm Beach's solar community avoids an estimated 10,651 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 5,072 cars off the road or powering around 2,130 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.
