Inspection today, these double taps go to a sub panel that operates the pump start relay for a sprinkler well, and also some of the stranded aluminum ground was left out to make room for the copper to the grounding rod, any thoughts on this?

When I see panels like that my first thought is, well that makes my job much easier. A licensed electrician needs to inspect and repair as needed.

copper and aluminum will eventually fuse together. |

I'm seeing more than double taps there, looks like at least three conductors under those lugs.
You could pick the application apart naming each defect or recommend evaluation and repairs by a qualified electrician. I'd recommend evaluation and repairs. Vince Santos

Typically see this when an A/C compressor or well pump or somesuch electrical addition is made by a non-electrician.
