Armadale is one of Western Australia's strongest solar communities, ranking 2nd in the state — ahead of 99% of all Western Australia postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. Growth has been strong, with 1,440 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 20% increase on the previous year, making Armadale one of Western Australia's faster-growing solar postcodes.
The combined impact is substantial: Armadale's solar community avoids an estimated 146,976 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 69,989 cars off the road or powering around 29,395 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.
