Norwood sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 96th in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 124 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 12% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Norwood's 1,909 solar systems avoid an estimated 8,631 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 4,110 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.
