Kapunda ranks 258th in South Australia out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 142 registered systems to date. 9 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 13% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Kapunda's solar systems avoid an estimated 642 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 306 fewer cars on the road annually. 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.
