I'm trying to add electric service to a 12x32 shed. So far I've installed a 100 amp panel, ran my inside wires for lights, outlets and the mini split. Went to the power company and got a 200 amp meter base set up for overhead service. Got that mounted, two 8' ground rods spaced more than 6' apart and connected with a single run of 4ga. solid copper wire that is ran back to the meter base.
There has been some miscommunication between the scheduler and the line men regarding what all I had to have ready. The scheduler told me that all I needed was the meter base mounted and the ground rods installed with the wire going to the meter base. The line men told me that I need to have the wiring from the meter base to the breaker box installed, the overhead mast, weather head and wires to the meter base ran with 18"-24" hanging out.
Been watching YouTube videos and reading up on electrician forums, but I cannot find a simple list of what is needed and how is has to be installed.
Would the following size wire be sufficient?
I know I should probably just hire a professional, but I'm really trying to do this myself and learn something during the process.

Would the following size wire be sufficient?
- 4/0-4/0-2/0 aluminum SEU cable to go from meter base to the breaker box.
- Three 4/0 aluminum wires going from the meter base to the weather head, one of them being marked with white electrical tape.
