Strathpine is one of Queensland's strongest solar communities, ranking 18th in the state — ahead of 96% of all Queensland postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. Growth has been strong, with 767 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 28% increase on the previous year, making Strathpine one of Queensland's faster-growing solar postcodes.
The combined impact is substantial: Strathpine's solar community avoids an estimated 118,929 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 56,633 cars off the road or powering around 23,786 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.
