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

Birdwood ranks 256th in South Australia out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 147 registered systems to date. 8 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 0% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.

Birdwood's solar systems avoid an estimated 665 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 317 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.
