Moving an existing 200 amp all-in-one panel with an overhead drop on a home. Moving from the back of the house to the side. Can I add a meter box with a 200 amp main feeder breaker to the side of the house and feed it to the existing panel? (would then become a sub-panel). Is there a blank cover for the existing meter being it won't be there anymore? Where would I tap the feeder wire on the now sub-panel? to the lugs the power company uses? which would go through another 200 amp breaker in the panel. Guess I'd have to since there are no lugs in the panel. (Gotta be a better way)
Or I could turn the existing panel into a junction box and splice and feed all the circuits over to the side where a new all-in-one panel would be.
(We use all-in one panels in AZ with the meter built into the same box with the breakers mounted outdoors. I know they don't use them back east).
