Can you branch off your main electrical service line to 3 beaker panels? 1 for the house, 1 for a shed and 1 for a shop. The house has a 200 amp breaker panel, the shed now has a sub panel powered off a 40 amp breaker from the main house panel. I want to replace the sub panel in the shed with its own breaker panel. The new shop will need an 100 amp breaker panel. Can this be done using polaris lugs to branch off the main service line and wire to the 3 locations I need.
Electrical – branch off the main service, just past the meter base

Yes.
You can buy a meter disconnect all in one like this one.
I personally would not buy the Leviton but this is just an example.
You just need to pull a permit and order a disconnect from the city.
Just check with your local authorities that you won't need to upgrade to a 320 amp service.
As far as 2020 code goes you'll need a sticker that says emergency disconnect since this meter has a main breaker.
