To determine the carbon emission reduction estimates related to switching to a clean energy supplier and/or installing solar panels, the following calculations were performed:
Switch to a clean energy supplier:
(3,471 kWh/household/year) x (0.475 kg CO2e/kWh) / (12 months/year) = kg CO2e reduction / monthGet some solar
(3,471 kWh/household/year) x (0.475 kg CO2e/kWh) / (12 months/year) = kg CO2e reduction / monthFor detailed calculations, references and assumptions, please see our Methodology page.
