New Norfolk sits in the top third of Tasmania for solar uptake, ranking 36th in the state out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. Growth has been strong, with 64 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 64% increase on the previous year, making New Norfolk one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, New Norfolk's 677 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,406 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 670 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.
