There is a solar ready lug kit (part number SR69094A) to add lugs to the
line side of the main breaker.
The easiest combination devices I have seen have a separate standard 2-pole
breaker that is a separate service disconnect. We see these a lot, but
usually the second service disconnect is already feeding a pool subpanel or
detached garage.
Regardless of what you choose, make sure it's on the "approved list" with
your utility.
