Check with your power company and your building inspection department.
In some localities, like ours, conduit is required and distance from
the meter base to the service panel is limited to 5' or less. HTH

the rule is reasonable to allow you to shut off power in a emergency
minimizing a electrical fire from meter to main breaker.
