Frequently asked questions
Can my solar inverter really be hacked?
Internet-connected inverters have been shown to have vulnerabilities globally. Keeping firmware updated, using strong passwords and limiting remote access greatly reduces the risk.
Should I disconnect my inverter from the internet?
Not usually — you'd lose monitoring and remote support. Focus on credentials, firmware and network isolation instead.
Is this a formal audit?
No. It is general guidance for UK solar and battery owners.
