Add Interlock to panel or bite the bullet and upgrade?

Looks like you have stabs upper right for a 2-pole breaker.

Also have 2 stabs bottom row.

Easy.

No stabs on the bottom that l can see. ??

However, that makes a 34 space panel which IMO is a unicorn.

So you need a horizontal interlock not the vertical style previously mentioned.

Yeah my bad. Just looked again more carefully.

Op could move breakers for a left side vertically stacked interlock.

Use the upper right unused stabs.

Mean while the cover has that row as "available" spaces.

since were on the topic of incompatible breakers, that 50a range breaker is not a Bryant IIRC.

Thanks all for your advice. I'll contact my electrician about an interlock and inlet.

Is that a potential issue that should be addressed?
