Local Business Generated

To figure out the economic value generated for solar installation businesses servicing postcode 2060, we take the Solar Panels Installed calculation and multiply it by an average assumed price of $3 per watt, which we adjusted for historical price changes. This then gives us an idea of the revenue generated by solar installation businesses supplying and installing solar power in the area.

Annual CO2 Reduction

0 tonnes

Annual CO2 Reduction

This is based on the total amount of solar power generated by all of the homes in postcode 2060 using the "Yearly Solar Generation" calculation multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in NSW. So this shows us the amount of carbon dioxide pollution equivalent that would be generated by coal-fired power stations for the same amount of kilowatts that are instead saved by clean and green rooftop solar power.

Yearly Carbon Sequestration

0 trees

Yearly Carbon Sequestration

This is based on the total amount of solar power generated by all of the homes in postcode 2060 using the "Yearly Solar Generation" calculation multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in NSW, then coverted to the number of trees that would be required to capture and sequester that amount of carbon dioxide pollution. (14 trees per tonne of CO2) So this number gives us a different way of understanding the environmental benefits of solar by giving us an equivalent number of mature trees capturing and sequestering carbon dioxide pollution into the soil that is equal to the amount of CO2 otherwise saved because of rooftop solar power in this area.

Yearly Car Emissions

This is based on the total amount of solar power generated by all of the homes in postcode 2060 using the "Yearly Solar Generation" calculation multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in NSW, then coverted to the number of kilometres driven by an average car. (120g of CO2 per km driven) So this number gives us a different way of understanding the environmental benefits of solar by giving us an equivalent number of kilometres driven worth of car emissions that is equal to the amount of CO2 otherwise saved because of rooftop solar power in this area.
