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.
That has created a vulnerability that suddenly feels more real, as Reuters is reporting that experts have discovered hidden communications equipment in various Chinese-manufactured solar energy parts.
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.
It’s not unusual for solar equipment to have built-in communication systems. These features allow companies to push software updates and monitor performance remotely. But the concerning part, according to Reuters, is that these specific devices were not documented. That means they were hidden on purpose.
