South Australia grid · community impact

Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 5603's 166 solar systems typically avoid around 0.47 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Postcode 5603 ranks 243rd in South Australia out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 166 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (2 systems, 75% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Postcode 5603's solar systems avoid an estimated 751 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 358 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.
