Technical FAQs 4

Are Chinese solar power inverters connected to critical infrastructure grids?

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.

What are hidden communication devices in solar energy equipment?

U.S. energy officials have discovered hidden communication devices in solar energy equipment supplied from China. These are primarily inverters used to connect solar panels and wind turbines to power grids, as well as batteries, heat pumps, and chargers for electric vehicles.

Are Chinese inverters a threat to solar power?

This vulnerability is especially dangerous given the growing penetration of solar power on Western grids, where in some regions, Chinese-manufactured inverters control upwards of 200 gigawatts of generating capacity – equivalent to more than 200 nuclear power plants.

Do Chinese inverters have a firewall?

Although the inverters are designed to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, utilities using Chinese versions usually use firewalls to prevent direct communication with the country.
