Govt. Tightens Cybersecurity Rules for Solar Power Data Safety

The government is making sure solar panels on your roof are safe from hackers.

They're doing this because the PM Surya Ghar scheme adds lots of new solar power, which could cause problems if not managed securely.

They want to stop hackers from taking control of the inverters that convert solar power to usable power, as well as stealing important energy usage information.

To do this, new rules say the inverters need special secure connections and send data directly to government servers.

This is to protect against cyberattacks and keep the power grid stable and your data safe.
