Wait what. I don’t know if my inverter does what they say. For one thing the vendor went bankrupt so there is no cloud dashboard anymore. For another there are hundreds of inverter vendors not one single one. And I am highly sceptical the basic dashboard showing solar generation has some sinister inverter backdoor killswitch when the article seems to provide no evidence of such? Seriously?

Edit: did some research and apparently it varies - many modern inverters can be remotely controlled by manufacturers - if they’re setup to allow it and are internet connected.

The article is still sensationalist about the risks though
