It has been our experience that recent modular/manufactured homes have the
main panels on interior walls.  Hence for disconnect code requirements you
will have an outside disconnect or pedestal where bonding will occur.
Verify that there are no multiwire branch circuits if doing a 110vac
service.

We're setting up an off grid Outback PV system on a brand new modular
home, you know two trailers connected together with vinyl siding.

During our quick examination of the main panel it looks like the
neutral and ground are NOT bonded together here. I assume this could be
some holdover from trailers where the power supplied to the trailer was
fed from a panel where the ground/neutral bonding occurred.

What's the correct/best way to deal with this?
