C.3. Environmental Benefits

Generate Clean, Renewable Power


Solar electricity production
generates no harmful emissions.







Generate Your Power Where It's Used

Avoid the need for
more transmission lines,
which lose 5% of
the power they carry.






Offset Peak Demand

Solar generates power during peak hours
where demand is otherwise met by
coal and natural gas generation.





A 10kW system will
reduce 7 tonnes of CO2
emissions annually, equivalent to:

  • 1,145 litres of gasoline
  • 9,715 km of driving
  • 815 acres of forest carbon capture
