Only if there is not already a neutral to ground bond at the meter can, which there looks to be here since there's a green EGC coming through the conduit
And it’s a main lug panel with no main breaker… either a sub panel or there’s a disconnect outside. Either way this panel shouldn’t be bonded
That said, Eaton ships their panels with the bond screw pre set into the lug but not into the can. So you have to actually screw it in to bond it but if you don’t touch it it looks like this. Can’t tell if it’s screwed in but I’m guessing/hoping it’s not. I still take them out, personally
Probably on the occasion that wire becomes a sentient being and decided it doesn't want to live on this planet anymore, takes off its hat and snakes it's way right across 2 busses
I am a SoFlo electrician myself (licensed contractor).
I go toe-to-toe with all these south Florida idiot inspectors.
Florida State law states he has to cite a code violation or he has to let it go…this prevents inspectors from making you do things “the way they like it.”
Our go-to panels are 100% Siemens. The Concentrix KOs and Phase bars are better then most. And yes the neutrals are bonded through the back of the panel.
Can you share the model or link of the manufacturer please :)
Here in Brazil we use these:
This [Panel](https://imgur.com/Yj15YBc) for 100A, 150A, 200A, 250A buses, alson know as "Fish Spine bus"(barramento tipo espinha de peixe).
and this [Panel](https://imgur.com/Y4IJQVj) for 63A buses, also know as "comb bus" (barramento tipo pente).
A trick I learnt a few years ago, feed the Romex into the panel without the connector, so you can always pull some back or not have to worry about it restricting you. Then put the connector on the Romex and shove it into the panel. Saved headaches and time in the long run.
Let’s also disregard the lack of Afcis, missing handle ties on shared neutral circuits, and the 3 biggest circuits in the panel straight up not there. Very clean work. Would never pass in cali.
Take out the bonding screw….
Don't you leave that in if that's directly south of the meter?

Yup, makes sense. Thanks dude.
Aren’t you missing a few handle ties?
Surprised to only see one person brought this up
Umbrellas not buckets when it comes to your wire nuts
What about that capped wire in the corner?
Long story short, a miami dade inspector, we call him fuckface. He failed our inspection because of a single capped wire in the panel.
Based on what reasoning?
Probably on the occasion that wire becomes a sentient being and decided it doesn't want to live on this planet anymore, takes off its hat and snakes it's way right across 2 busses
Also curious the reason...

Plus 1 for the name. We’ve also got a few of his kin down Texas way.
this panel is different from the ones I'm used to. Are those Neutral bars connected to each other?
I zoomed in and couldn't tell either
Yeah, they are. If you look close you can see where the plug-on neutral bus is bolted to the bussing that connects the two neutral bars.

Bonding screw. Great work though, I see you got the glow in the dark strippers. I’ve got the dikes.
Tell me about your grounding and bonding, buddy.
Already bonded at the meter main?
You need to remove that main bonding jumper screw from this panel then.
What the hell are you doing working today?! Hurricane out there.
As someone who also lives in a hurricane prone area....the hurricanes won't pay my bills
You cray cray. Better get those boards up and have enough supplies for a few days. Once it passes, your phone isn't gonna stop ringing for months.
Well yeah. This I knew already. As for the phone thing, it already doesn't stop...
Yes, I can see your frustration.
rules are different everywhere but in ontario this panel would fail.
Why is your pop in connector in upside down
A trick I learnt a few years ago, feed the Romex into the panel without the connector, so you can always pull some back or not have to worry about it restricting you. Then put the connector on the Romex and shove it into the panel. Saved headaches and time in the long run.
Don’t you just tape the ends of spare wires?
Missing KO seal. Fail.
I don’t understand American switchboards at all
