Our Friday team meeting has a guest list this week. You’re on it 🎟️ Earlier this month, a 9.2/10 vulnerability was found in Sungrow’s cloud platform. Most cloud breaches end with leaked data or passwords sold on forums. This one reached the hardware, putting roughly 18GW of solar capacity within reach of disruption. That’s more than all the solar installed in Belgium, and roughly 6x the sudden power loss the European grid is built to withstand. So we invited Marlon Starkloff, the researcher who found the flaw, to our Powernaut Weekly. He’ll sit down with our co-founder Serge M. to walk through how he found it and the security gaps still facing distributed energy assets. Friday 30 October, 16:00 to 16:30 CET. Bring your questions.
