Jeff.

Although not marketed for PV, the Eaton Cutler Hammer Ranch Panel CMBER88B200BTS has a 270 amp rating and comes with a 200 amp main breaker with space for a 70 amp secondary main breaker space(a tap between the meter and the main breaker) as well as pass through lugs and 8 more breaker spaces.  The local Platt stocks them at less than $300.  We have used them for several service upgrades and love them.

Jeff,

This has been sent out on the list a few times but I don't remember anyone sharing their personal experiences with it:

200+ 60 for a meter main is trickier. The $1100 (list) Schneider RC2M200S lets you do a 200A main and a 50A PV breaker (interconnecting on line side of the 200A), which may be close enough for you depending on your system details (10kWac @ 240V -> >52.1A breaker).

Hey Wrenchies,

Anybody know of a 200 Meter base with lugs rated for dual wire so we can
do a 60 Amp Supply side solar feed on a 200 Amp service?

Or does anyone know the right equip to get to ensure we can install 2
dual lug taps on both single lugs? (a meter base with enough room for
the T lugs?)

Or better yet any integrated 200 Amp Service / Meter equipment that has
an accessible spot to tap 60 Amps for a Disconnect on the meter side of
the Main?

I have 2 SB 2500Us existing and want to add a single SB 5000TLUS - I
show rated output to be 46 Amps total and hence a 60 Amp needed.

Advice my esteemed colleagues?

Thanks,

Jeff
