Cyber Security Risks Facing UK Solar Farms

Solar farms may look like passive rows of photovoltaic panels, but modern sites are increasingly digital power stations. Behind the panels sit internet-connected inverters, weather sensors, data loggers, CCTV systems, industrial controllers, remote monitoring platforms and grid-connection equipment. Operators, equipment manufacturers and maintenance contractors may all require remote access. This connectivity makes solar farms more […]
