The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) today issued a clear and urgent warning: Europe’s energy sovereignty is at serious risk due to the unregulated and remote control capabilities of PV inverters from high-risk, non-European manufacturers – most notably from China. Study by DNV provides the evidence.
The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) has urged EU member states to restrict remote control capabilities of solar inverters sourced from “high-risk non-European manufacturers,” primarily targeting Chinese firms, over alleged cybersecurity vulnerabilities linked to grid integration and software updates.
It has proposed a “Cybersecurity Toolkit” to assess manufacturer risks and called for EU-wide legislation modeled on Lithuania’s 2023 ban, which prohibits Chinese inverters from connecting to European grids.
This would involve: A comprehensive risk assessment of inverter manufacturers. A requirement that high-risk vendors must not be permitted to maintain an online connection to European electricity systems. Consideration of outright bans for such vendors from connecting to the grid.
