5 FAQs about [Wenren photovoltaic inverter theft case]
Could a rise in solar panel theft be a repercussion of energy crisis?
One unexpected repercussion of the energy crisis is a rise in solar panel theft. Police in Germany have warned of a surge in module and inverter theft, and solar farms in the UK face similar risks, writes Rachael Oakley, Head of Crime Intelligence at DeterTech, a security provider.
Are solar photovoltaic inverters at risk?
Operating-technology (OT) devices like solar photovoltaic inverters, when connected to the Internet, are at higher risk relative to stand-alone OT devices. They must be able to prevent, detect, and respond to unauthorized access or attack.
What happens if a solar inverter is hacked?
Inverters are the interface between solar panels and the grid. If the inverter’s software isn’t updated and secure, its data could be intercepted and manipulated. An attacker could also embed code in an inverter that could spread malware into the larger power system.
Can a PV module be stolen?
There are also two other key factors that affect the potential for PV module theft: PV systems have experienced dramatic growth all over the world - from inner cities to rural villages. A stolen PV module has value in resale dollars and also as a source of power for small appliances.
What factors affect the potential for PV module theft?
They are also easy to install, modular, sturdy and highly portable. There are also two other key factors that affect the potential for PV module theft: PV systems have experienced dramatic growth all over the world - from inner cities to rural villages.
