2,085 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in South Australia · data current as at 2026-08-15
Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 5600's 2,085 solar systems typically avoid around 5.90 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Postcode 5600 sits in the top third of South Australia for solar uptake, ranking 87th in the state out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. New installations eased in the past 12 months (62 systems, 6% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Postcode 5600's 2,085 solar systems avoid an estimated 9,427 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 4,489 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.
