In Florida the utility must offer a single point of service for a property or contiguous properties owned by a single entity, even if broken by a road or other easement. If the properties are not contiguous, the utility can require separate meters, but you'd have a hard time maintaining electrical continuity for the PV system across non-contiguous properties anyway!
We have done it (subbed it out). It's not that difficult if the meters are in reasonably close proximity. The cost was well justified based on FL Net Metering Rules , which prohibits conjunctive/aggregated billing for separate account (meters).
