This bill mandates that owners or operators of solar energy facilities with a capacity of one megawatt or larger must conduct inspections of their infrastructure, specifically focusing on power inverters and other relevant components, to check for the presence of remote-access devices. These devices pose a risk as they could enable unauthorized individuals to disrupt the operation of the solar energy facility. Inspections must be completed within six months of the bill's enactment, and any components found to be affected must be replaced with secure alternatives. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that no new solar energy facility of this size can commence operations without having undergone the required inspection.

The bill also empowers the Board of Public Utilities to establish necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions in accordance with the "Administrative Procedure Act." The intent behind this legislation is to enhance the security of solar energy facilities in light of concerns raised by U.S. experts regarding the discovery of unauthorized communication devices in solar power inverters, which could potentially be exploited by malicious actors to compromise energy infrastructure and destabilize power grids.
