2,164 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-06-15
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Nambour's 2,164 solar systems typically avoid around 13.41 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Nambour ranks 159th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 104 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 1% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
The combined impact is substantial: Nambour's solar community avoids an estimated 21,420 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 10,200 cars off the road or powering around 4,284 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.
