Looking for 125 Amp Panel 30 Circuits

Does any credible manufacturer make a 125 amp panel that holds up to 30 20A
circuit breakers? I need to replace a residential panel that currently
has 20 circuits in it and will be expanding to 26. Total anticipated
current load is around 50 amps.
It would also be great if the panel had extra space at the bottom where we
could mount some current conductors so we can measure ongoing energy use on
the HVAC system and computer room.

A related question is whether there is any way to alter a 200 amp panel to
only allow 125 amp incoming power without violating code. We are in
Northern California.
Many 200 amp panels support the amount of circuits we need, but
unfortunately the underground conduit we are using is 2 inch and that
apparently is under the 3 inch required for 200 amp service by code. If
there were a 200 amp panel with a standard option to have the main panel
breaker changed out to 125 amp we would be in business.

I believe the next step up from 100 amps is 150 amps. GE makes a 150 amp 32
circuit panel. Check your local codes to see if the 150 amp mains can be
used with the 2" conduit. If not, you always have the option of using a 125
amp main disconnect and a main lug panel. Of course the panel would be then
treated as a sub-panel meaning the neutrals and grounds would have to be
kept separate.
Here is the GE panel:

Do you have any recommendations on who could do this? My electrician is
saying none of the brands he works with can change out the main input
breaker to 125A.

main. Or you could fit a larger service into the existing 2" conduit by
using copper wire. A second opinion from another electrician might not
be a bad idea either. Or just make a few calls to electrical supply
houses yourself, this should not be hard to find.

Contact a reputable electrical supplier. They can order panels built up to
your specifications. Not cheap, of course. But the Home Depots can't do
this and they want to sell you what's on their shelves anyway.
