U.S. energy officials have found "unexplained" communications equipment inside some Chinese-made inverter devices, according to a report by Reuters published Wednesday. The
For months, experts examining renewable energy equipment imported from China have been quietly finding rogue components in solar inverters and large batteries, two people familiar with
Over the past nine months, unexplained communication equipment has been found inside Chinese power inverters used to connect solar panels and wind turbines to electricity grids.
The report revealed that undocumented components were found in several solar inverters and batteries made in China. These reviews are part of ongoing efforts by U.S. agencies to
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
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.
