Queenstown ranks 74th in Tasmania out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 148 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 17 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 183% increase on the previous year, making Queenstown one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Queenstown's solar systems avoid an estimated 307 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 146 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.
