My 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.

Largely because there are radios in the inverters. Typical connected-grid stuff is sending people with too little knowledge into a tizy

Actually 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.
And 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?
