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

Norwood sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 45th in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. Growth has been strong, with 215 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 34% increase on the previous year, making Norwood one of South Australia's faster-growing solar postcodes.

The combined impact is substantial: Norwood's solar community avoids an estimated 13,944 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 6,640 cars off the road or powering around 2,789 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.
