New Norfolk sits in the top third of Tasmania for solar uptake, ranking 16th in the state out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 104 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 4% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
Collectively, New Norfolk's 1,252 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,601 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,239 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.
