Don't just nag on Outback. It's the same issue with the Schneider
Electric XW distribution panel and with the Midnite E-panels.

I'm taking a Mike Holt course on NEC 2020 changes for my license
renewal, and I just came across these changes in 408.18. They apply
to Switchboards and Switch gear, which the Outback GS Load center
qualifies as. The new requirements do not allow arrangements that
require the installer to reach across uninsulated, ungrounded
terminals or busses in order to make connections.
As has been brought up on this list before, the GS load center is a
nightmare to work in, with the main shunt, negative buss, and ground
buss buried behind layers of other equipment, including both
ungrounded AC and DC exposed breaker terminals.
I'm pretty sure they added this new code section to address equipment
just like this. Outback? are you finally going to fix this, and give
us a better load center to work with?
