New data shows Mandurah is leading the way in WA when it comes to the number of solar power installations and has ranked 4th in the country.
The Clean Energy Regulator has revealed the latest ranking of Australia’s top 10 postcodes for small-scale solar installation.
In order from the top, the Queensland town of Bundaberg has again secured the number one spot, followed by new entries on the list, the Victorian suburbs of Werribee and Hoppers Crossing.
Last year, no Victorian postcodes made the top 10.
According to the CER data, these three postcodes have accumulated the highest number of small-scale renewable energy installations since the small-scale renewable energy scheme began in 2001, each reaching around 17,000 installations as at 1 September 2017.
In fourth place, down from second place last year, is the WA City of Mandurah, where the local council is also pushing hard to install PV on government buildings – and just last week agreed to install a 200kW (not a part of the SRES) system at the local pool and sports centre.
There were no entries this year from South Australia, Tasmania, the ACT or the Northern Territory.
