<div>Although not marketed for PV, the Eaton Cutler Hammer Ranch
Panel CMBER88B200BTS has a 270 amp rating and comes with a 200
amp main breaker with space for a 70 amp secondary main breaker
space(a tap between the meter and the main breaker) as well as
pass through lugs and 8 more breaker spaces. The local Platt
stocks them at less than $300. We have used them for several
service upgrades and love them.</div>

200+ 60 for a meter main is trickier. The $1100 (list)
Schneider RC2M200S lets you do a 200A main and a 50A PV
breaker (interconnecting on line side of the 200A), which
may be close enough for you depending on your system details
(10kWac @ 240V -> >52.1A breaker).<br>
