3,007 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 15% in South Australia · data current as at 2026-05-15
Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Munno Para's 3,007 solar systems typically avoid around 8.51 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Munno Para sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 46th in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. New installations eased in the past 12 months (131 systems, 28% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Munno Para's solar community avoids an estimated 13,596 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 6,474 cars off the road or powering around 2,719 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.
