Yup. Modern inverters are smart which means that they can be hacked. All of the software bells and whistles make a device vulnerable.

Also, few people realize that your roof top solar panels will not work independently of the power grid. The power grid that the solar panel systems connect into goes down and your expensive solar panels stop working too. There should be a provision that allows you to run your home directly from the solar panels. Probably too much load but at least you can charge your cell phones, power a radio, etc.

“Yup. Modern inverters are smart ...”

SMA Sunny Boy has that feature. Will run off grid when the suns out of course.

If you have solar ? save my freeper mail, i’d be glad to share my over 50kw of operation at homes in Florida. Even got solar to supplement a diesel generator output that you will be told, no way.
