Townsville solar company Solar Dimension is entering its next stage of growth, purchasing a prominent commercial property at 72 Pilkington Street, Garbutt as the locally owned business continues to expand across North Queensland.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Daniel and Zoe McCarron, Solar Dimension has grown from a home-based operation into an established North Queensland solar and battery business. The company now employs approximately 35 people, marking significant growth since its beginnings nine years ago.
The purchase of the Garbutt property gives Solar Dimension additional space to support its growing team, operations and customer base while maintaining a strong physical presence in Townsville.
A New Home for Solar Dimension in Garbutt
Located at the intersection of Pilkington Street and Bayswater Road, the new Solar Dimension site occupies one of Garbutt’s most visible commercial corners.
The property at 72 Pilkington Street was sold on 25 February 2026 for $2,997,500, according to publicly available property records.
Sitting on approximately 2,205 square metres of land, the site includes around 850 square metres of floor space, 12 on-site car parks, dual access points, a high-clearance showroom and warehouse space.
Its combination of visibility, parking, showroom capacity and warehouse space made the property particularly suited to Solar Dimension’s growing operations.
The business initially explored leasing a larger premises before making the decision to purchase the Garbutt site.
From a Townsville Home Business to a Team of 35
Solar Dimension’s expansion represents a significant milestone for the locally owned company.
Daniel and Zoe McCarron originally operated the business from home before moving into commercial premises as demand increased. Solar Dimension currently operates from 3/19 Keane Street in Currajong, with the new Garbutt property providing substantially more room for the company’s next phase of growth.
The company has since grown to a workforce of approximately 35 employees, servicing residential and commercial customers throughout North Queensland.
Solar Dimension describes itself as a family-owned and locally operated business, providing solar solutions across Townsville, Cairns and surrounding North Queensland communities.
Why the New Showroom Matters
While much of the solar industry has moved towards online quoting and remote sales, Solar Dimension has continued to place importance on giving customers somewhere they can physically visit.
The new Garbutt headquarters provides the space to continue that approach on a much larger scale.
For customers considering solar panels, battery storage and energy solutions in Townsville, a physical showroom provides an opportunity to better understand the technology and see systems before making an investment.
This is particularly valuable for customers travelling into Townsville from other parts of North Queensland.
The property also provides considerably more parking and operational space for Solar Dimension’s staff and fleet of work vehicles.
A High-Profile Location in Townsville’s Commercial Precinct
The new Solar Dimension headquarters sits directly opposite the Dalrymple Hotel and Dan Murphy’s, giving the business substantial exposure from traffic travelling through the Pilkington Street and Bayswater Road intersection.
The fully renovated property includes air-conditioned showroom space, high-clearance areas with front and side roller-door access, office and staff facilities, a fenced rear yard and extensive signage opportunities.
Plans for the site include transforming the exterior with Solar Dimension’s distinctive green and black branding, creating a highly visible new home for the company in Garbutt.
Continued Investment in Townsville
The move represents more than simply additional floor space.
Purchasing a permanent headquarters is a significant long-term investment by a locally owned business that has grown alongside demand for solar and battery technology throughout North Queensland.
Solar Dimension specialises in residential and commercial solar solutions and says its team understands the particular energy requirements and conditions faced by customers in tropical North Queensland.
The company is also listed as a New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC) Approved Seller, a program designed to establish consumer protection standards for businesses selling new energy technology.
With a larger showroom, warehouse facilities, additional parking and one of Garbutt’s most prominent commercial locations, the new headquarters gives Solar Dimension room to continue that growth.
For a business that began at home less than a decade ago, the move to a multi-million-dollar Townsville commercial property marks a major milestone.
Solar Dimension’s Next Chapter
Solar Dimension’s move to 72 Pilkington Street, Garbutt reflects how far the company has come since Daniel and Zoe McCarron first established the business.
From a small local operation to a team of around 35 people, the company’s growth has created the need for a headquarters capable of supporting its workforce, vehicle fleet, showroom and warehouse requirements.
The new Garbutt location provides exactly that, while keeping Solar Dimension firmly based in the community where the business began.
As demand for solar power, home batteries and commercial energy solutions continues across North Queensland, the new headquarters positions Solar Dimension for its next stage of growth.
