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.
However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by US experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said.
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.
In November, a commercial dispute between two inverter suppliers – Sol-Ark and Deye – led to solar power inverters in the US and elsewhere being disabled from China, highlighting the risk of foreign influence over local electricity supplies and causing concern among government officials, three people familiar with the matter said.
