Further Information
The photovoltaic system installed at the Queen Victoria Market has the capacity to generate 252,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of clean electricity per year. This saves approximately 369 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, which would normally be emitted if the same amount of electricity was generated from conventional coal power.

To give an idea of how much 369 tonnes of greenhouse gas represents, the table below provides a comparison with the annual greenhouse impact from different energy uses.

 
Type of energy use Typical annual greenhouse gas emissions Equivalent number of items that the QVM solar installation offsets
Average Australian House 8 tonnes/house 46 houses
Average Australian Car 4.5 tonnes/car 82 cars
Child Care Centre 29 tonnes/centre 13 centres
Two door electric fridge 1.5 tonnes/fridge 246 fridges
