Glenorchy is one of Tasmania's strongest solar communities, ranking 8th in the state — ahead of 93% of all Tasmania postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. 135 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 9% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Glenorchy's 1,518 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,154 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,502 cars from the road. 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.
