Mount Isa ranks 326th in Queensland out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 226 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (19 systems, 51% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Mount Isa's 226 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,237 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,065 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.
