60 Hurts per Second – How We Got Access to Enough Solar Power to Run the United States

Key Findings

  • Bitdefender researchers have identified a series of vulnerabilities in PV plant management platforms operated by Solarman and Deye.
  • This platform is responsible for coordinating production operations of millions of solar installations worldwide generating a whopping output of approximately 195 GW of solar power (20% of the global solar production)
  • If exploited, these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to control inverter settings that could take parts of the grid down, potentially causing blackouts.
  • These vulnerabilities have been communicated to the affected vendors and fixed.
