Launceston ranks 72nd in Tasmania out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 155 registered systems to date. 11 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 0% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
Launceston's solar systems avoid an estimated 322 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 153 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.
