Jason:

Back when SolarWorld (or maybe they were Shell at the time) used to include 
a grounding screw, we once found a grounding screw packet sandwiched 
between glass-to-glass packed modules.  One of the modules was shattered 
due to the pressure of the screw.  Look for a foreign object amongst the 
shards.
