Jerry,
Can you confirm that this was caused by a failure of the wire nut, itself, and
not due to user error (not properly stripping enough jacket, inserting even
length wires and sufficiently twisting on the wire nut)

The reason i'm asking is that the only time i have seen a short,
first-hand, in a wire nut, was because it appeared that one wire was pushed
down rather than binding with the other wire, which would have happened if
the wires were not held tightly when the nut was twisted on. Also, it was
a strand
Be aware that SMA explicitly prohibits the use of wire nuts in their
installation instructions on the DC input circuits.

I also concurr, NEVER use wire nuts on the roof, I've personally installed
them, and come back 3-4 years later, and found them melted. Wire nuts are
simply for insulating a splice, not to be counted on for the mechanical
connection. I make my guys twist solid wire together before installing a
wire
