I will assume that the sealant is on tears or fasteners going thru the felt?

Staples. I would assume that the bent portion of the wire that creates a standoff would be the place for a staple.

The guy on the phone claims to have a license. He said that this is new technology. I heard him say "Do you understand that there is a wire in the armor?"

"New Technology"
How old is this guy? UL published the first edition of UL 4 – Standard for Armored Cable in 1917.

UL467 is for indoors

The job is a residential solar array. The contractor has removed Edison's seal, removed a cover and installed a device that monitors the current. The installer (a national corp.) claims that this is a common practice. I turned it down.
I also determined that the service panel was installed without a permit. That was not done recently.

Ok, I've seen something similar pop up on advertisements before (see https://sense.com/). I've always been suspicious because I figured that they would be measuring at either the feeders coming into the meter or the back side of the panel. Both seem to be big no-no's, and I don't see that it has a UL or equiv. listing.

This is a service panel upgrade. The conduits are packed with the old cable. Because there are no knockouts and the installer didn't want to punch a bunch he opted for conduit. And yes I noticed that the hub is screwed.....or not as it were.
I haven't gotten to the bottom of what's up with the service entrance conductors. The first guy that I was dealing with said, "I can tell that you are a little frustrated with me."
"Licensed Contractor" used to mean something. I know the difference. I see what the trade has become and shake my head in disgust.

When surface mounted over stucco we do not allow a rear entry of any kind.
What was proposed to take care of the undersized and too short conductors? With the parallel conductors used by panel manufacturers between the load side of the meter & the main breaker, in the 3rd photo from the bottom the PoCo UG feed seems to be the only place the that CT's could be placed, still wrong IMO. What does SCE do about if when they find out about it?
