Solar panels are seen with a view of the neighbourhood and lower Manhattan in New York in this August 2022 file pic by Reuters. Western nations have raised a security alert after US experts found “rogue communication devices” in Chinese solar power inverters, amid concern they could be used to destabilise power grids.
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.
Over the past 9 months, undocumented communication devices (including cellular radios) have also been found in solar panels from several Chinese suppliers. The exact number of inverters and batteries tested, as well as the names of the suppliers, were not provided by the source.
While Huawei decided to leave the US inverter market in 2019 – the year its 5G telecoms equipment was banned – it remains a dominant supplier elsewhere. Huawei declined to comment. In Europe, exercising control over just 3 to 4 gigawatts of energy could cause widespread disruption to electricity supplies, experts said.
