Electrical Meter Base

[man00]

I have a 30x30x12 pole barn, the meter base is mounted to the metal siding. There is about a 1" gap between the base and building. When it rains water is coming through by running off the power conduit from the meter base to panel which is inside. What is the sealant or method to use to stop the leak?
thanks

Can you get access to the hole in the building, or are the meter can & panel secure and in the way? Usually we would silicone the hole after running the conduit through but before mounting the panel if they were back-to-back.

Silicone or Duct seal on both sides

No can't get to it..thought about getting some "L" channel and trying with some duct seal

That would probably be the easiest way...

I don't know what trying to spray expanding foam behind the meter can would do, probably make a mess and still not be water tight...
