Grid: no planned outages for Thornlie (6108).
The ABS counts dwellings by suburb rather than by postcode, so that total is apportioned across postcode boundaries and is approximate. Every certificate created for a new, upgraded or replaced system since 2001 counts towards the ratio above, so it is not the share of homes with solar. Where building has continued since the Census, the figure can pass 100.

South-east suburbs near the hills have moderately higher outage rates due to tree contact and storm exposure. Backup-capable batteries are worth considering, especially for homes with medical equipment or home offices.
Common outage causes: storm damage, tree contact, equipment failure, planned maintenance. Network infrastructure: More overhead lines in foothills areas. Vegetation management is an ongoing challenge.
Backup battery sizing for Thornlie: with an average outage duration of 73 minutes (1.2 hours), a 5 kWh backup-capable battery is typically sufficient to maintain essential loads (lights, fridge, internet, medical equipment). For whole-home backup during longer outages, consider 10–13.5 kWh with backup capability.
