    PVC for service to meter base
    Installing a 200A meter base for overhead service on a shed/workshop building. Could or should I use PVC 2" through roof eve to weather head? Will PVC be strong enough to support elec. Cable from pole?

    NO, no, no!

    For a mast service you MUST use rigid metal conduit.
    In most cases, for a 200A service, 2" is fine. Some areas will require 2-1/2" minimum.
