Gympie ranks 368th in Queensland out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 119 registered systems to date. 7 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 17% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Gympie's 119 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,178 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 561 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.
