Here in south TX , I would get failed PDQ for not having the gec come from meter can to main panel. Neutral cannot be means of bonding.It seems they are concerned with losing a neutral at the service entrance. It must be continuous from meter can , through the ground bar in main panel, then to ground rod. gec MUST NOT be spliced or tapped. I will get a pic of the temporary pole I just set up that has this system. I will have to find me a pic hosting service (free hopefully) Because I would like feedback on my installations [Linked Image]
That is a clean install, I like the straps, I may begin that habit myself:0
