What Is A Cyber Attack?How Could Hackers Attack Solar Power Systems?Managing VulnerabilitiesAdditional InformationHistorically, cyber risk for solar was relatively minor, given how few systems were deployed and because most solar inverters did not communicate for monitoring or control. However, as more solar is installed and inverters become more advanced, this risk grows. Inverters are the interface between solar panels and the grid. If the inverter''s softwar...See more on energy.govForescout
