- tim-tday 4mo agoActually a security researcher found a back door in some Chinese inverters recently. Normally I’d believe this administration is just knee-jerk banning because China and solar, but in this case there was an actual reason.
- downrightmike 4mo agoAnd what was found? was it enabled? was it in the spec sheet when they bought it? Was it an actual backdoor? Or an intended service config?
- pseudohadamard 4mo agoMy house is currently powered from US-made inverters that have radios in them, and at least three different known remote-access mechanisms that the manufacturer can use to get in and control things. Probably some others that aren't known. I'd actually feel a lot safer if I was running Chinese-made gear.
