Shoals Technologies Group, Inc., a global leader in electrical balance of system (EBOS) solutions for the energy transition, has officially broken ground on the Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project in partnership with PCL Construction and clean energy solutions provider Gentari. The project is part of Australia’s efforts to achieve its ambitious goal of generating 82% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, with solar and storage playing a central role.
Located near Wellington in central western New South Wales, the Maryvale project is among Australia’s largest DC-coupled solar and battery energy storage systems. The project will deliver approximately 243 MW of solar generation capacity, paired with 172 MW of battery storage. Shoals’ industry-leading string harnesses, SuperJumpers, and Super Combiners will be used to optimize the system and ensure efficient, long-duration clean energy delivery while strengthening grid reliability.
Gopi Govindraj, PCL Country Manager, Australia, stated, “We are thrilled to shape the future of energy with partners who share our values and vision. Our collaboration with Shoals is driving a milestone achievement in renewable energy infrastructure. Together, we are delivering eastern Australia’s first utility scale DC-coupled solar and battery hybrid system, blending technical innovation with a shared drive to accelerate the clean energy transition. Partnerships like this are how we create meaningful change, building smarter infrastructure and brighter futures for the communities we serve.”
Jeff Tolnar, President at Shoals, mentioned, “We are proud to partner with PCL Construction and Gentari on this landmark project. The Maryvale project marks a significant milestone in Australia’s clean energy journey, showcasing the power of solar and storage integration at scale. By combining Shoals’ advanced electrical balance-of-system solutions with the expertise of our partners, we’re helping to accelerate the deployment of solar and storage projects in the region.”
Gentari, serving as the project owner, provides strategic oversight and technical expertise for the Maryvale project. As a leading clean energy solutions provider in the Asia-Pacific region, Gentari is committed to accelerating the transition to net-zero emissions globally. Construction has begun under PCL, with commercial operations expected to commence in early 2027. Once operational, the Maryvale Solar and Energy Storage Project will play a key role in supporting Australia’s renewable energy targets, providing reliable and dispatchable power to the National Electricity Market while advancing long-term grid stability.
