Solar Inverters Hackability

Turns out some scientists say that solar inverters are a playground for hackers.

The scientists: Cyber-physical systems security researchers at the University of California

How can solar inverters be hacked?  By using a “remote spoofing device to target electromagnetic components found in many grid-tied solar inverters”

What happens? At worst, a blackout, and at best destabilization of the grid.
