I'm not much of an electrical guy so be nice please. I understand the green wire is connected to earth, but I've never understood where the neutral wire (white in the diagram) is connected to. I haven't looked behind an electrical breaker panel lately, so is there a ground terminal or something back there to connect it to? Thanks in advance.

The neutral wire passes back to the main supply panel, and from there it's connected to the center tap of the service drop transformer that's connected to the high voltage supply lines from the power source, mounted either on a pole or in a locked cabinet when underground primary service is used. The neutral is typically bonded to an earth ground only at the main supply panel.
