U.S. experts have allegedly found rogue communication devices, including cellular radios, in Chinese-made solar inverters and batteries over the past nine months.
The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total.
Using the rogue communication devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilise power grids, damage energy

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.
In March, researchers from Forescout Research’s Vedere Labs uncovered vulnerabilities in solar power systems after analyzing six major inverter manufacturers, including Huawei, Sungrow, and SMA Solar Technology.
