In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through the cybersecurity and renewable energy communities, security experts have discovered undocumented
For months, experts examining renewable energy equipment imported from China have been quietly finding rogue components in solar inverters and large batteries, two people
The solar engery battery cabinet was designed for battery installations, due to a cabinet of this design''s scarce availability that was suitable for a variety of lithium-ion batteries. The solar
U.S. energy officials have launched an investigation after discovering unauthorized communication equipment embedded within Chinese-manufactured solar power inverters
"The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total."
Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilise power grids, damage energy
Over the past nine months, forensic security teams have logged multiple brands of Chinese solar inverters containing hidden wireless communication equipment. Investigators
Power inverters, which are predominantly produced in China, are used throughout the world to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids. They are also found in batteries,
Undocumented communication devices have been discovered inside solar inverters and batteries manufactured in China, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

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.
These inverters, which are essential components that convert direct current from solar panels into alternating current usable by the electrical grid, were found to contain undocumented cellular radio devices not disclosed in product specifications or technical documentation.
A team of engineers in the U.S. took apart a solar power inverter. It looked like any other—sleek, compact, humming with the promise of sustainability. But buried deep inside, they found something that wasn’t supposed to be there. It wasn’t in the manual. It wasn’t listed in any documentation.
Huawei is the world's largest supplier of inverters, accounting for 29 percent of shipments globally in 2022, followed by Chinese peers Sungrow and Ginlong Solis, according to consultancy Wood Mackenzie. German solar developer 1Komma5 said, however, that it avoids Huawei inverters, because of the brand's associations with security risks.
