Annual CO2 Reduction

271 tonnes

Annual CO2 Reduction

This is based on the total amount of solar power generated by all of the homes in postcode 3889 using the "Yearly Solar Generation" calculation multiplied by the amount of CO2 generated per tonne of coal-fired power in VIC. 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.
