The usual treatment when the enclosure is placer over a hole is to seal around the enclosure with silicone or epoxy.

The solar contractor has a C-10 license so he was able to pull a permit to perform a service upgrade. The small enclosure was existing. There is no dead-front for the small enclosure yet they assumed that since it is existing, it can stay that way.

I find it tiresome to write a long list of corrections when it starts with do it over....somewhere else. Furthermore, I will most likely never see this crew again and the next bunch will do just as bad if not worse.

The air space is still there, albeit blocked, but still there. Understanding that the hole is it's own violation, would you consider it a violation to seal around the enclosure?312.2 Damp and Wet Locations. In damp or wet locations, surface-type enclosures within the scope of this article shall be placed or equipped so as to prevent moisture or water from entering and accumulating within the cabinet or cutout box, and shall be mounted so there is at least ¼-in. airspace between the enclosure and the wall or other supporting surface. ............
