Mount Nelson ranks 48th in Tasmania for solar installations — in the middle tier of 119 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 53 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 33% increase on the previous year, making Mount Nelson one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Mount Nelson's solar systems avoid an estimated 943 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 449 fewer cars on the road annually. This is estimated using Tasmania's average grid emissions intensity of 170 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
