@samwooly1 Here is a breaker panel that I recently installed. It does not have the SENSE unit installed. I do not know the electrical codes for your area, but if you want to pass city inspection in our area, the panel needs to wired neatly and follow the NEC code book. I see that you are using Square D products. I am a fan of Square D.

Any white wire that is used as a service ‘hot’ must be marked with either black or red tape to indicate that is being used to carry load and is not a neutral. I think you have done that but the markings are not near the termination point.
-
You are not allowed to double lug wires on these breaker terminations. Only 1 wire per screw point. The better option is to use a wire nut and make up the multiple connections by twisting multiple wires together.
-
Service wires coming from the power company’s meter need to be marked: White for neutral, green for ground, black for hot, red for hot. Placing a red marker is not code but a courtesy to the next electrician who opens the panel. Also I don’t know why, but the red always goes on the right. It’s a tradition.

Consider installing a “Whole House” Surge Protector. You can see the one mounted in the top right position. It is as close to the neutral bar with the shortest smoothest path possible. It case of a lightning strike or an electrical surge you want to dump that overload as quickly as you can. This is a cheaper surge protector, but it’s more than most homes have. It will protect the microwave, oven, washer, dishwasher, etc. Continue to place local surge protectors at your TV’s, computers, etc. for a secondary fall-back.

When this house was built, NEC code only required AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) breakers in the bedroom circuits only. You can see the 3 AFCI breakers on the lower right hand side. (Green buttons) The new code requires a CAFI (Combination Arc Fault Interrupter) on all living areas. CAFI breakers test for a ‘series’ and a ‘parallel’ fault. (Yes, they are expensive!) My next install in 2019 will have mostly all CAFI breakers.
-
Outside circuits require a GFCI breaker. You can see that breaker mounted 4th from the bottom. (Yellow button). You can also place individual GFCI receptacles at each location instead of using an individual breaker. You need GFCI for any outlet that is within 6-ft of a water source. Mainly bathrooms and kitchens.

As @kevin1 pointed out, I mounted my home SENSE unit, took readings, then later went back and re-worked my installation. My readings agreed more with the power company’s after I reset the clamps at 90-degrees and centered the clamps around the service wire.

Invest in some plastic zip ties. They are cheap and will help make your installation neater.

The city inspector in our area wants to see all grounds (copper) on one bus bar and all neutrals (white wires) on the other bus bar. Now the two bus bars are joined together so functionally it’s the same bus bar, but that’s his requirement. Once again, you are not allowed to place two wires terminations under the same lug.

This panel is mounted on the outside of the house. The picture was taken before the siding was applied. We place a ‘drip leg’ in the wire just before terminating the wire on the breaker. We have high humidity in our area and any condensation that occurs on the wire will run away from the breaker.
Hope this helps. Provide more pictures. We all appreciate seeing other installations and gaining knowledge from other installs.
