6.2. Residential Electric Service: Specifications and Requirements
"Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) typically provides electricity for residential and commercial applicants served on a domestic rate schedule with 3-wire, 120/240-volt, single-phase, 60-hertz (Hz), alternating current (ac) service...
This service is limited to a service-entrance rating of 200 amperes.
Applicants should contact their local PG&E service planners and ask about the type of services that are available for their specific locations."
Section 6 from the Green book. ^^^^
This Service might be able to obtain an exception -- but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
6.4. Meter Locations
"An applicant must consult a PG&E service planner during the initial construction phase of his or her project to determine the appropriate meter location and to ensure that adequate space is provided for the meter.
PG&E must review and approve all meter installations before the meters are installed."

I've seen similar requirements in my PoCo's rules - but the meaning was "this is as big as we go without submitting your plan to engineering for review." They were never taken to mean 200-amps was a MINIMUM service size.
Mind you, most customers seem to think they want a "200 amp service," no matter how modest their hovel. It seems to be a matter of 'keeping up with the Joneses.' Or, what they really want are more breaker spaces.
As for meter locations, I've had to relocate meters several times to separate them from the gas meter. On one occasion, I was able to obtain permission to continue to use an existing location that no longer met their specs.
This thread is a very good reminder that the PoCo has rules- and it's not enough to just look to the NEC.

I spoke to a woman at PGE and she could only find the 100amp minimum, in her greenbook, I as well couldn't find the 200amp min., What the thinking on running riser thru roof vs. through the front eave board, Is the riser clamp not designed for lateral horizontal pulls? most all in the area come out just past eave.
I do like the idea of the all in one but not sure if Sq D makes one in QO havent found it in the pdf yet.

Square D no longer makes QO combination services  The Homeline is the only thing they offer.
