Glenorchy ranks 103rd in Tasmania out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 37 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 6 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 20% increase on the previous year, making Glenorchy one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Glenorchy's solar systems avoid an estimated 77 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 37 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.
