Since 2023, Solar Citizens’ Sunniest Neighbourhood Awards have acknowledged the communities across Australia with the highest rooftop solar uptake.
Rooftop solar is the cheapest way to power our homes, and millions of Australians are taking full advantage of the energy bill savings. The solar households in these neighbourhoods are not only providing clean, cheap energy for themselves but also for their communities.
You can find the 2023 winners here.
In 2024 the highest number of rooftop solar installations in Australia were in postcode 4655, in the electorate of Hinkler, Queensland.
Using postcode data from the Clean Energy Regulator on domestic small-scale installations, we identified the top fifteen solar-producing communities in Australia for both 2023 and 2024, presenting the Sunniest Neighbourhood Award Certificates to State and Federal Members of Parliament who represent the winning postcodes.
