Ipswich ranks 275th in Queensland out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 528 registered systems to date. 32 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 7% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
Collectively, Ipswich's 528 solar systems avoid an estimated 5,226 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,489 cars from the road. 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.
