As you can see from solar's post ,it can be costly to bring the POCO primary in from the street to a padmount transformer. I did one 600 feet and it cost $15000...and that was just the primary cost.
To this day I wonder if I would have been better off to oversize the secondary and eliminate the unsightly transformer in the guys front yard.It would have cost less also.
Try to price it this way...run two 3inch PVC in parallel with a 350MCM AL URD cable in each pipe.Put a 320 meter can at the house to terminate.Drop into the house with 2 load centers.Oversize your wiring to the air conditioning and motor loads also.IMO this cost less to install and large enough to compensate for voltage drop.
