Are solar inverters a threat to Europe's energy sovereignty?
The European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) today issued a clear and urgent warning: Europe’s energy sovereignty is at serious risk due to the unregulated and remote control capabilities of PV inverters from high-risk, non-European manufacturers – most notably from China. Study by DNV provides the evidence.
Are Chinese inverters a threat to Europe's remote infrastructure?
ESMC Secretary-General Christoph Podewils warned that Chinese-made inverters, which account for 70% of new European installations in (with Huawei and Sungrow as dominant suppliers), now power over 200 GW of capacity—equivalent to “more than 200 nuclear plants”—stripping the continent of “critical remote infrastructure oversight.”
Are Chinese inverters still a problem in Europe?
All the while, Chinese inverters – heavily subsidized and offered at prices few customers can resist – continue to flood the European market. This brings us to the second paradox, exemplified clearly by the Czech Republic.
Could inverters destabilize Europe's power grid?
Thousands of inverters, acting in sync, could ripple distortions across Europe’s power grid and destabilize entire regions. Considering the significance of these risks, Europe can no longer afford to treat clean energy as geopolitically neutral. Defusing the hidden risks requires action in at least four areas: 1.
Will Lithuania ban Chinese inverters from connecting to European grids?
It has proposed a “Cybersecurity Toolkit” to assess manufacturer risks and called for EU-wide legislation modeled on Lithuania’s ban, which prohibits Chinese inverters from connecting to European grids.
Does Europe's solar backbone run through China?
As the EU leans into its ambitious climate goals, solar energy has become the poster child of the energy transition. On the surface, it appears to be a success story in the global race toward decarbonization. But peel back the layers, and a more troubling picture emerges: Europe’s solar backbone increasingly runs through China.
