You actually have 2 options with one is purchase 3 conductor 2/0 copper wire which is approved for direct burial wire and no conduit is required except where it comes out of the ground to the meter base. Choice # 2 is 2 inch PVC Schedule 40 conduit and pull two 2/0 and one 1/0 copper wire for your neutral. Good luck
