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.
Electronics experts involved in dismantling and analyzing electronic equipment had come across the undocumented communication units in the solar inverters. In the past nine months, undocumented communication devices such as mobile communication devices have also been found in some batteries from several Chinese equipment manufacturers.
The recent revelation that Chinese-made solar power inverters are playing host to rogue communication devices has set off alarm bells around the globe. These aren’t just some shady spare parts tossed in by an overzealous subcontractor in Shenzhen.
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.
