Kingston is one of Tasmania's strongest solar communities, ranking 6th in the state — ahead of 95% of all Tasmania postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. Growth has been strong, with 202 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 31% increase on the previous year, making Kingston one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Kingston's 1,786 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,710 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,767 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.
