Peter,
If the modules were indeed defective, why should the manufacturer go
unnamed? Publicity of defective hardware is one of few tools we installers
have to encourage better quality.

We replaced a 60 module system in the "Stunt Ranch" area of Malibu Canyon.
Problem was not with squirrels but defective modules (mfgr will go unnamed).
We were instructed to carefully refit the expanded metal screens to keep
"ground squirrels" out from underneath the modules. We used LMFC everywhere
to get to the first j-boxes and then EMT to the inverters.
I believe that "ground squirrels" are not really squirrels but rodents of
another sort.

This is interesting to see what regions the squirrels are active.
I hear Vermont, Mass, New Hampshire, and Colorado
here in southern California I have heard of no problems
any other areas anybody knows of?
is it the cold weather?
is it only use-2 or is this including rhw?
