Launceston ranks 60th in Tasmania for solar installations — in the middle tier of 119 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 14 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 40% increase on the previous year, making Launceston one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Launceston's solar systems avoid an estimated 567 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 270 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.
