Anyone want to comment on the ground bar with nothing on it, the grounds on the isolated neutral, and the neutral bar isolated(no green/bonding screw)?

Seems like the serious issue here(or I'm looking at the photo wrong).

Thomas,

I think I see a "Z" bar strap in the back of this panel shown which is doing the bonding at the main service equipment, This is the first disconnection location and the "Grounded" and " Ground " terminations should share the same buss bar.......it is the panel INSIDE I worry about....because that one we can't see...

Paul , your are correct. The panel shown is the service equipment panel not the distributiion panel. The distribution appeared to wired properly.
