I'm terrible at these. The top one looks atrocious, but I've never seen a anything like the second one to know if that's the wrong way to do it.

Nicer pipe job. Bu-u-u-u-u-u-ut . . .what is wrong with this picture?
I will go with separate grounding electrodes for each service disconnecting means.
The PVC running from the panels down to the ground conceals the GEC from vandalism.
Did you notice that two services feed one j-box?

Yes but do they run to a common electrode or sperate electrode?
Yes, but that is not an NEC violation.

They must use a lot of power in that 10 x 10 shack .....
They're not service conductors if the meter enclosure also has an OCPD in it. Then they're feeders.
So, you can feed a common raceway from seperately metered, seperately "owned" power sources (same voltage) unmarked/unidentified? I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around that one.

Sure, why not?
Besides, in my opinion NEC wise this is one service with four service disconnects.
From all appearances, the fire extinguisher might be undersized :grin:

I think its ironic that they have a new fire extinguisher clearly labeled under all of that crap.

I agree 100%. Once those service conductors hit the OCPD that appears may exist in each meter enclosure, they're not service conductors anymore. The NEC does not prohibit mutiple feeders from coexisting in a common box.

There are not enough straps on those risers.
