South Australia grid · community impact

Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Balaklava's 1,792 solar systems typically avoid around 5.07 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Balaklava sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 103rd in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 93 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 6% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.

Collectively, Balaklava's 1,792 solar systems avoid an estimated 8,102 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,858 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.
