3,024 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Noosa's 3,024 solar systems typically avoid around 18.74 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Noosa sits in the top third of Queensland for solar uptake, ranking 128th in the state out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 183 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 8% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Noosa's solar community avoids an estimated 29,933 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 14,254 cars off the road or powering around 5,987 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.
