Pemberton ranks 153rd in Western Australia for solar installations — in the middle tier of 388 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (18 systems, 31% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Pemberton's 441 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,395 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,617 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.
