Report: U.S. Engineers Find ‘Rogue Communication Devices' in Chinese Solar Panels
2025-05-15
[Breitbart]
U.S. engineers have discovered mysterious, undocumented communication devices lurking in some Chinese-made solar power inverters and batteries Reuters reported.

“The rogue components provide additional, undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely, with potentially catastrophic consequences,” said Reuters’ sources, who spoke anonymously because they had not been given permission to speak on the record.
Is the threat exaggerated, or merely not even slightly new?

Hey, wait a minute, wasn't there a solar power event or something recently?
