Shark Bay ranks 157th 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 27 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 93% increase on the previous year, making Shark Bay one of Western Australia's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Shark Bay's 418 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,218 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,532 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.
