Grid intensity data: Open Electricity (openelectricity.org.au) · 7-day average · updates monthly

Blackwood ranks 117th in South Australia for solar installations — in the middle tier of 347 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 90 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 2% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.

Collectively, Blackwood's 1,532 solar systems avoid an estimated 6,927 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,299 cars from the road. 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.
