Campbelltown sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 38th in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 220 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.
The combined impact is substantial: Campbelltown's solar community avoids an estimated 15,124 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 7,202 cars off the road or powering around 3,025 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.
