Here are a few pics. from todays inspection. There is a knife disconnect to the right taht shuts the system down. My concern is that, the sub panels are all coming from the panel on the right with the knife disconnect. I could not locate where the knife panel was bonded. All comments are welcomed.

Begin by referring it to a licensed electrician. It has so many "add-ons" that are improperly installed that this thing could be a hazard.

Some of those wires coming off the main are horribly undersized. (100(?) amp to 12 guage)!!

Recommend installing a 100 amp circuit breaker panel minimum. Eliminating all of the little sub-panels. Appears that those are 100 amp cartridge fuses in the main disconnect.
