South Australia grid · community impact

Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 5602's 499 solar systems typically avoid around 1.41 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Postcode 5602 ranks 180th in South Australia for solar installations — in the middle tier of 347 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (18 systems, 10% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Postcode 5602's 499 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,256 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,074 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.
