Bundaberg tops state for solar
Find out where your postcode ranks in Queensland for residential solar uptake.
Bundaberg shines brightly with the postcode that has the most residential rooftop solar installations in Queensland.
Bundaberg’s 4670 postcode leads the way with 15,600 households having solar panels, followed by Hervey Bay (4655) with 14,000 and Caloundra (4551) with 12,800.
The Queensland Government has launched a new online search tool where Queenslanders can find out where their postcode ranks.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said in a media release that more than 722,000 Queensland homes had solar.
“Together, Queensland’s homes account to over 3.5GW capacity – that’s more generation capacity than Queensland’s two largest power stations combined (Gladstone 1,680MW, Stanwell 1,460MW),” Ms Palaszczuk said.
“I want to thank every Queenslander who has helped lower electricity prices and our carbon footprint by installing solar panels on their home – your home is part of Queensland’s biggest power station, powering the state.”
Deputy Premier Steven Miles said a new solar system was connected every 11 minutes in Queensland.
“Queensland not only leads the nation but also the world in rooftop solar,” he said.
“While rooftop solar supplied 8.9% of Queensland’s total energy needs last financial year, in the middle of the day it can represent more than 40% of generation.”
Energy Minister Mick de Brenni said Bundaberg not only topped Queensland for solar, but also led the way nationally.
