Chinese Made Solar Power Inverters Connected To US Power Grid
In a plot twist worthy of a techno-thriller, U.S. energy officials have uncovered rogue communication devices embedded within Chinese-manufactured solar power inverters.
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.
In May of 2025, U.S. experts found undocumented communication modules and secret radios embedded in some Chinese-manufactured solar inverters and battery systems. Not listed in product documentation, these shadow components create hidden backdoors that can circumvent utility firewalls and allow remote access to the devices.
U.S. energy officials are reportedly reassessing the security risks posed by Chinese-made components in renewable energy infrastructure after discovering hidden communication devices inside certain solar inverters.
If not, China will continue to evade state-specific bans, with new vulnerabilities capable of emerging from wherever inverters are produced next. Undocumented radios found in Chinese-made solar inverters pose a threat to U.S. energy infrastructure and security, enabling disruption of critical systems.
