Default Stranded/solid
Why would there be both stranded and solid conductors in the same panel?

Not worried about it just curious as to why.
It's all in conduit.

Probably it was done by different contractors , Some carry strand in rolls . and it is easier to pull through conduit.

The solid was probably originally put in by a resi. The stranded was probably put in later by an electrician who is used to commercial work and prefers stranded over solid.
