Most municipalities and power companies require that meter bases be installed by licensed electricians.
Do not attempt to install the meter base yourself. There are far more realistic ways of saving a few dollars.

Can I install 200 amp panel using 200 amp meter?

yes The meter rating is the maximum, if you use it on a smaller service that is OK from a code point of view. However, the local utility company may also have special rules about which meters pans can be used on which type installations. You may need to check with them


Can you measure amp in the DC?

Yes but the meter has to go in series with the load. There is a new clamp on amp meter being introduced, that will measure larger DC amperages without opening the circuit.


Can you change the 32amp 240v socket to a 16amp socket on your generator?

No! The 32 amp rating is slightly more than the circuit that supplies it can handle in continuous power supplied, therefore if you replace it with a socket that has a smaller amperage rating (16) you will have the potential to draw through the new socket more (32) amps than it was rated for and thus have a component failure and possible electrocution hazard. The 16 amp socket will physically work but you and anyone who will use the generator in the future MUST ensure that no more than 16 amps are drawn through the socket . I recommend that a like in kind replacement , 32 amps for 32 amps so the full 32 amp supply can be used safely. my opinion.
