3,365 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 15% in South Australia · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Glenelg's 3,365 solar systems typically avoid around 9.52 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Glenelg is one of South Australia's strongest solar communities, ranking 36th in the state — ahead of 90% of all South Australia postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (167 systems, 19% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Glenelg's solar community avoids an estimated 15,215 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 7,245 cars off the road or powering around 3,043 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.
