I agree. It should be bonded in SW1 (the dot may indicate that it is), and not in E (MAIN).

This is basic stuff. Everything past SW1 should be wired like sub-panels are wired.
 
My only slight hesitation was it's a hybrid inverter, so I wasn't sure if there was some shenanigans going on like it being considered a separately derived system. But then the neutrals would need to be switched and not common and they are not. Apparently sol ark did this design and drawing. 😡

Is this a dwg you were given by a designer for a project? It may be that whoever created it went by Sol-Ark schematics in their manuals, which incorrectly show the N-G bond in the wrong location, consistently. Shame on Sol-Ark, they should fix. Also, there is no bypass switch in your dwg, so if the inverter fails in certain scenarios, the site will have no power until someone comes onsite and manually moves wires to bypass it before repair.
