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.
