Rogue Chinese Devices Found in Solar Panels

 We remember seeing a 20/20 Show over a dozen years ago about China and their cheating and stealing.  China had hired a US Company to install a solar farm.  After the company had installed it all and were ready to turn it on, some Chinese government officials showed up and they escorted the Americans to the airport and sent them home.  Then they hacked into their laptops and stole the US company's codes and patents.  So they had just hired the company to see how they did everything and had plans to steal the technology for themselves all along.

I remember the president of the US company saying that the US Government did nothing to help them and nothing to punish China for it's lawlessness.

We were reminded of this story when we saw this article today.  It would appear that China stole our patents and technology then started producing solar panels for US consumption.  Today we read that China maybe has planted some sort of hack into those panels and could use them for nefarious purposes in it's cold war with USA.

Undisclosed communication devices reportedly discovered in Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related equipment have sparked concerns among U.S. officials about the vulnerability of the nation’s power grid, according to a Reuters report. 

These “rogue” devices, found over the past nine months, could potentially destabilize energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet.

The undocumented devices, including cellular radios, were identified in solar power inverters, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and heat pumps produced by several Chinese suppliers. 

U.S. experts uncovered the components during security inspections of renewable energy equipment, prompting a reevaluation of the risks posed by these products. 

Inverters, critical for connecting solar panels and wind turbines to the power grid, are predominantly manufactured in China, amplifying concerns about their security.

“We know that China believes there is value in placing at least some elements of our core infrastructure at risk of destruction or disruption,” said Mike Rogers, former director of the U.S. National Security Agency.

“I think that the Chinese are, in part, hoping that the widespread use of inverters limits the options that the West has to deal with the security issue,” Roger’s further urged.

Experts warn that these rogue devices could bypass firewalls, allowing remote manipulation of inverter settings or even complete shutdowns. 

Such actions could disrupt power grids, damage energy infrastructure, and cause blackouts. 

“That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid,” another source told Reuters.

The discovery adds to long-standing warnings from energy and security experts about the risks of relying on Chinese-made green energy products.

We have blogged about the US power grid for years and will probably continue to do so until Jesus returns.  It really is our Achille's Heel and if the electricity fails to come on one day in America, events would get ugly really fast.

With how complex our entire system of technology is, we feel like it's God holding it together for His perfect timing of things.
