DEYE inverters have a tendency to communicate with China

An old topic: DEYE inverters have a tendency to communicate frequently with a home server. If you own a balcony power plant, you may be considering using a DEYE inverter for it. These inverters are well-regarded for their efficiency and their ability to manage generated electricity effectively. However, there is an often-overlooked aspect that could be significant for many users: these inverters are quite ‘chatty’ and maintain a constant connection to a data server based in China, which cannot be disabled. This raises numerous questions and concerns regarding data privacy.

DEYE inverters have a tendency to communicate with China

A year ago, I reached out to DEYE’s support regarding a lack of updates. I was quite surprised by the screenshot I received as proof that my inverter was functioning properly.

The constant connectivity of the manufacturer provides access to a wealth of data collected through the inverter. This includes not only technical information such as system performance and efficiency but also real-time electricity production data. In an era where privacy concerns are increasingly prevalent, this may be troubling for many users. Why does a manufacturer need information about individual electricity production, and how is this data utilized? These questions become even more pertinent when considering the importance of maintaining control over personal information.

Moreover, depending on the terms of service, the manufacturer may use the collected data to analyze consumer behavior trends or even to optimize future products. Therefore, it is advisable to thoroughly research the implications of using a DEYE inverter and to review the manufacturer’s privacy policies before proceeding.
