Kyocera quality concern [RE-wrenches]

We've probably installed over 100kW of Kyocera modules
over the last year or so (3 or 4kW at a time), and are
generally satisfied with the quality.  We haven't
noticed any problems with their products so far.

I just wish they would offer them with the MC "quick
connects" pre-installed on the modules for ease of
installation.
