U.S. energy officials have launched an investigation after discovering unauthorized communication equipment embedded within Chinese-manufactured solar power inverters connected to critical infrastructure grids across the country.
U.S. energy officials are reportedly reassessing the security risks posed by Chinese-made components in renewable energy infrastructure after discovering hidden communication devices inside certain solar inverters.
But the implications were massive. This was just one of several similar discoveries over the past year. According to reports from sources close to ongoing investigations, experts examining imported solar inverters and battery systems from Chinese manufacturers have quietly found more of these hidden Chinese devices embedded inside.
In May of 2025, U.S. experts found undocumented communication modules and secret radios embedded in some Chinese-manufactured solar inverters and battery systems. Not listed in product documentation, these shadow components create hidden backdoors that can circumvent utility firewalls and allow remote access to the devices.
