It''s not yet clear how many of these communication devices were found, nor the nature of the devices themselves - and the intent behind the planting of these is unknown.
Evidence of just how real this risk might be surfaced in late 2024, when a number of inverters across multiple countries were reportedly disabled remotely from China. The

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.
But the implications were massive. This was just one of several similar discoveries over the past year. According to reports from sources close to ongoing investigations, experts examining imported solar inverters and battery systems from Chinese manufacturers have quietly found more of these hidden Chinese devices embedded inside.
Reuters analysts identified that the undocumented equipment has been found in multiple Chinese inverter models over the past nine months, with similar discoveries in battery storage systems from various Chinese manufacturers.
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.
