In a discovery that has sent shockwaves through the cybersecurity community, U.S. energy officials have found undocumented "rogue" communication devices hidden inside solar power inverters imported from China.
According to Reuters, experts have discovered secret cellular radios and other communications gear inside solar inverters and solar batteries made by Chinese companies. These components are widely used in U.S. infrastructure to connect solar panels to the grid and store solar energy.
This investigative article exposes the discovery of undocumented communication devices hidden in Chinese-made solar inverters, creating unprecedented vulnerabilities in global power grids.
It's not unusual for solar equipment to have built-in communication systems. These features allow companies to push software updates and monitor performance remotely. But the concerning part, according to Reuters, is that these specific devices were not documented. That means they were hidden on purpose.

Which accumulator batteries are included in the cabinets covered by the technical specification?
The cabinets covered by the technical specification have been designed to contain the hermetic lead-acid electric accumulator batteries.
Battery rooms shall be designed with an adequate exhaust system which provides for continuous ventilation of the battery room to prohibit the build-up of potentially explosive hydrogen gas. During normal operations, off gassing of the batteries is relatively small.
The rated capacity of a battery is based on an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F). Any variation from this operating temperature can alter the performance of the battery. Battery capacity is diminished at low temperatures. Higher room temperatures will shorten the expected battery life.
Illuminance levels in the battery room shall be designed to meet IESNA Lighting Handbook recommendations with a minimum illumination level of 300 lux (30 fc). The lighting design shall consider the type of battery rack and the physical battery configuration to ensure that all points of connection, maintenance and testing are adequately illuminated.
