Brompton sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 49th in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 179 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 19% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Brompton's solar community avoids an estimated 13,153 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 6,263 cars off the road or powering around 2,631 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using South Australia's average grid emissions intensity of 370 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
