Burnie is one of Tasmania's strongest solar communities, ranking 5th in the state — ahead of 96% of all Tasmania postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (127 systems, 9% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Burnie's 1,841 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,825 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,821 cars from the road. 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.
