> A small solar inverter doesn't need to be internet connected, but solar inverter app monitoring lets you track energy production, view real-time power flows, and check device status using a smartphone or tablet ... over USB or Bluetooth. Internet is solely for convenience.

So is 90% of everything we use the internet for. It’s also possible to pay my bills via check sent via USPS (for now), but I bet at least 80% of your typical utility customers use the online portal.

  So is 90% of everything attackers use the internet for. And re loss from an attack, your bill payment is not comparable to a solar inverter.

    Yeah, it’s easier to drain my bank account than explode a random inverter (probably). And one of them gets them paid.
