Perhaps they had extra materials lying around? There certainly was a much easier (and proper?) way to do this, but maybe the weekend warrier doee was a roofing contractor and just loved walking those roofs.

Russel,
It is quite obvious that this is some sort of solar powered dwelling

Nope, no solar power.
Patience, Kevin, patience. Let's let the other insomniacs have some fun first.

Did they add on and move the meter base without installing a disconnect, then go up and back down entering the house through the original service head?

This is a two-on-one property. The blue arrows point to the overhead service drop coming in to the main structure. The service drop goes to the two meters. Underneath the two meters are the service disconnects for each structure.
The yellow arrows point to the service cables (Jerry, do I have the terminology correct in this specific instance?) going to the second structure.
The green arrow points to the service cables (Jerry? Terminology?) going from the meter to the electric panel for the main structure. Jerry noticed that the weatherheads in picture two are not the same weatherheads visible in picture one. The roof ridge is a good clue there.

The green arrow points to the service cables coming from the meters, splicing to three red cables (yellow arrow), which, coincidentally, are the three red cables shown in the electric panel of the main structure in this picture:

For some strange reason, they took the cables through the exterior raceway (green arrow, first picture, this post), up through the left weatherhead in picture two, this post, spliced to the red cables, and down to the electric panel. They could simply have gone straight through the wall to hit the electric panel (picture three, this post) which was located in the master bedroom closet.
It was quite fun tracing all these wires to see what was going on. And I did it all without a single margarita. Ah luv this job.
