Launceston ranks 87th in Tasmania out of 119 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 80 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 8 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 33% increase on the previous year, making Launceston one of Tasmania's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Launceston's solar systems avoid an estimated 166 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 79 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.
