Siemens Meter Main Interconnection

[solarken]

I have an install at new construction home where the electrician that installed a Siemens meter main did not leave much room on the right side to bring conduit in thru a knockout from an Enphase Combiner. The left side of the meter main has the barrier for bringing underground service wires up to the meter compartment, and it does not have a knockout. The service wires in this case come into the top of the meter main from overhead, and so that barrier compartment is empty.

I would like to punch a hole in the left side of this meter main, and mount the combiner to the left and bring conduit into the barrier compartment, and bring the conductors thru the barrier into the breaker area and land on a branch breaker. Attached is the PDF. Is there any issue with doing this? I have not looked at the meter main physically yet because the site is 90 minutes away. Has anyone installed one of these before and done something similar?

Personally, I see no issue with just throwing away the barrier and taking over that real estate. You would want some sort of filler in the pass thru up to the meter section.

I toss those barriers then I do a OH service looks like the installer forgot. The set screw is in the meter section so you'll need to unseal and pull the meter to get it out.
