Reuters reports that solar power inverters made in China have in some
cases, contained undocumented devices for communications.  Do you
have, or are installing any solar power panels?  Do a check for
anything that doesn't seem to belong amongst the circuitry.

This isn't without precedent.  Dock cranes many of which are made in
China have also been found to contain similar undocumented
communication/control devices.
