Peterborough ranks 266th in South Australia out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 118 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (3 systems, 57% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Peterborough's solar systems avoid an estimated 534 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 254 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.
