Embleton sits in the top third of Western Australia for solar uptake, ranking 67th in the state out of 388 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 193 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 16% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Embleton's solar community avoids an estimated 23,065 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 10,983 cars off the road or powering around 4,613 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Western Australia's average grid emissions intensity of 630 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
