Investigation into Chinese-made Solar Panels in Japan

Under Investigation

Japan has launched an investigation into Chinese-made solar panels over fears they may contain hidden communication devices capable of disrupting the nation’s power grid. The inquiry follows findings by US and European authorities who uncovered suspicious equipment in these panels not listed in official specifications. The Japanese government is examining imported solar panels to determine if similar undeclared equipment has been added, which could threaten national energy security by allowing remote control of power inverters.
