The European Commission warns that Europe's reliance on Chinese-made solar inverters poses cybersecurity risks. In Romania, the regulatory authority lacks centralized data on installed inverters, making it difficult to assess the extent of Chinese technology use. Recent EU data indicates that around 70% of solar inverters installed in Europe in 2023 were from Chinese suppliers, with significant remote access capabilities. The Romanian authority, ANRE, does not track the brands or models of inverters used by local prosumers, limiting the ability to evaluate potential cybersecurity threats. Current regulations do not require owners to disable remote access by manufacturers, raising concerns about security and control over solar installations.
