From what I have read it should have a ground bar and a neutral bar. it appears to only have a neutral bar. Can someone clarify this for me? Also if you happen to know exactly what brand/model of breaker I need from looking at the pic I would appreciate it.

Don't take my word however, wait for someone a bit more experienced. I've only ever worked with BASIC 110v electrical, like adding outlets and switches and things like that.

The cover will have the brand, then you will know what type of breaker. __________________ Yes I am a Pirate, 200 years too late. "Jimmy Buffett"

You can use a generic ground bar if you drill and tap the screw holes for machine screws. and It is a generic siemans panel and will take any breaker classified for a siemans panel.
