Sorell ranks 79th in Tasmania out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 103 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 10 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 43% increase on the previous year, making Sorell one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Sorell's solar systems avoid an estimated 214 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 102 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.
