Gatton ranks 242nd in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 49 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 4% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
Collectively, Gatton's 804 solar systems avoid an estimated 7,958 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,790 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.
