Description

According to new research, the remote-control capabilities of PV inverters from high-risk manufacturers — such as those based in China — pose a serious threat to Europe. Gigawatts of solar power could be switched off at the push of a button.

To discuss the threat and how it might be addressed, I’m joined by Christoph Podewils, Secretary General of the European Solar Manufacturing Council, and Bart Groothuis, Member of the European Parliament representing the Renew Europe group.
