However, rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S experts who strip down equipment hooked up to grids to check for security issues, the two people said.

The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total.

Without this information I don't think it's possible to determine if this is actually a threat or if someone just wants their department funded.

Or they don't want to disclose it publicly for security reasons? If they even found 1, that is downright concerning.
