Margate is one of Tasmania's strongest solar communities, ranking 11th in the state — ahead of 91% of all Tasmania postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. Growth has been strong, with 119 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 45% increase on the previous year, making Margate one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Margate's 1,390 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,888 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,375 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.
