U.S. officials have discovered undisclosed communication devices on Chinese-made power inverters that were being used on solar panels, Reuters reported today based on anonymous sources within the federal government. The inverters are devices separate from power sources like solar arrays or batteries.
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.
The issue could be important to facilities managers if they oversee on-site solar arrays or battery storage systems, with Chinese-made inverters on them, to provide energy resilience.
