Bunbury ranks 128th in Western Australia for solar installations — in the middle tier of 388 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 40 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 38% increase on the previous year, making Bunbury one of Western Australia's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Bunbury's 757 solar systems avoid an estimated 5,828 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,775 cars from the road. 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.
