Aluminum ground bars?

[Isaiah]

Just found out the Lighting Panelboards we ordered have aluminum ground bus bar. The
spec calls for copper. Is there an issue with aluminum? All the wiring will be copper standard XHHW-2.

The issue is that it doesn’t meet the spec.

I'm not sure you can even get copper ground bus anymore in a panel board.

Right - the spec seems to be antiquated

I would be inclined to take exception to it in my proposal.
