U.S. Considers Solar Inverter Ban | US News

The Trump administration is reportedly drafting a ban on imported solar inverters—key tech that connects solar panels to the grid—over fears China could weaponize them to disrupt U.S. power supplies. Inspired by Europe’s recent move to block Chinese inverters in public projects, the U.S. proposal could hit new foreign models as early as this year. Though not final, it signals a return to caution after years of easing tensions with China, which dominates the inverter market with companies like Sungrow and Huawei offering aggressive pricing. Security concerns have been raised about hidden communication devices in some Chinese inverters. The FCC, already banning foreign drones and routers—with no Chinese waivers granted—says the rules are neutral, but the move underscores a global scramble to secure critical infrastructure amid rising tech and national security risks.
