HP Profiles is proud to be supplying our HPFLEX® 63 mm Heavy-Duty Corrugated Conduit to the landmark Fulham Solar Farm and Battery development in Gippsland, Victoria.

This $300 million renewable energy project is one of Australia’s most significant examples of DC-coupled solar and battery technology, combining an 80 MW solar farm with a 64 MW / 128 MWh battery system. Once complete, it will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 39,000 homes.

The Fulham project stands out as one of the first — and largest — DC-coupled solar-battery systems in the country. By routing solar generation directly into the battery through DC/DC conversion, the system minimises energy losses and reduces connection infrastructure costs.

The project is backed by major institutional investors, including:

• Rest Super
• Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)
• Clients of Westpac Private Bank

Battery technology and long-term performance services will be provided by global energy leader Wärtsilä, ensuring durability, reliability, and stability for years to come.

For a project located across 160+ hectares of agricultural land outside Sale, Victoria, robust underground cabling protection is essential.

We are supplying HPFLEX® 63 mm Heavy-Duty Corrugated Conduit, engineered to withstand demanding solar farm environments:

• Heavy-duty rating suitable for large-scale infrastructure
• Flexible yet strong design for ease of installation
• UV-stabilised, durable, and compliant with Australian standards

Our conduit is supporting the electrical infrastructure that connects the solar arrays, battery systems, and associated services across the expansive site.

Once fully operational in 2027, the Fulham Solar Farm & Battery will:

• Produce 80 MW of renewable energy
• Store 128 MWh of battery capacity
• Power ~39,000 homes
• Create up to 100 construction jobs, plus 10 ongoing operational roles

We’re proud that HP Profiles and HPFLEX® are playing a role in expanding Victoria’s renewable-energy capacity, strengthening local manufacturing involvement in Australia’s clean-energy projects, and supporting the transition to a sustainable future.
