Cyber Security
Most operating activities such as monitoring and control of systems can be done locally by the PV system operator or
service personnel without the need for data communication via public Internet infrastructure. These operating activities,
including data communication between PV system operator/service personnel and data logger, inverter or additional
equipment, can be accessed by using local displays, keypads or using local access of the webserver of a device in the
LAN of the PV system or of the building.
In other use cases of systems, the PV systems are also part of the global communication system, which is based on
Internet infrastructures.
The data communication via Internet is an up-to-date, economically viable and customer-friendly approach in order to
enable easy access for the following modern applications such as:
• Cloud platforms (e.g. Sunny Portal)
• Smartphones or other mobile devices (iOS or Android apps)
• SCADA systems, which are remotely connected
• Utility interfaces for grid management services
Alternatively, selected and secured communication interfaces may be used. These solutions are no longer state of the
art and are very expensive to use (special communication interfaces, separate wide area networks and more).
When using the Internet infrastructure, the systems connected to the Internet are entering a basically unsecure area.
Potential attackers constantly seek vulnerable systems. Usually, they are criminally motivated, have a terrorist
background or aim to disrupt business operations. Without taking any measures to protect systems and other systems
from such misuse, a data communication system should not be connected to the Internet.
