Kyocera quality concern [RE-wrenches]

[Engineering Services Co.]

<x-flowed>
We recently received our first shipment of Kyocera 120 modules for an upcoming 
job. We were a little concerned when we opened the boxes up and inspected 
the modules. The back Tedlar sheet has many, many sharp peaks probably at 
the solder junctions between cells. When we were at PVUSA training we seem 
to recall that many of the module failures were caused by these sharp points 
puncturing the rear backing and allowing moisture into the module.

Am I overly concerned? Any field related experience to pass on is welcome.
