1,982 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-08-15
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 4455's 1,982 solar systems typically avoid around 12.28 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Postcode 4455 ranks 175th 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 (84 systems, 45% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Postcode 4455's solar community avoids an estimated 19,619 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 9,342 cars off the road or powering around 3,924 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.
