landing neutrals on ground bars

It just bugs me that every panel doesn't come with enough ground bar and neutral bar capacity on *each* side to accommodate a maxed out panel.

A Square-D QO (and other) panel would need 2 neutral landing spots per breaker position since the breakers can can each accept 2 conductors.

I don't see why you couldn't just pigtail those two neutrals together with a wire nut, if you had to.

Absolutely agree.

I was responding to the comment that said neutral bars should have enough positions to accommodate the maximum possible number of neutrals. It’s just not practical.
