Security vulnerabilities in solar array control systems

I found this interesting, and thought you may too with all the discussion of solar installs going on here lately.

The article is a little dramatic and the implications probably aren't too serious for the typical homeowner. Curious to see if anyone here has deployed one of these units.

As more and more stuff connects to the Internet the risk of attack increase.

I just finished designing/installing a simple greenhouse controller with a web interface. The unit is only accessible within our home LAN but even so if one of the PCs on the LAN gets compromised an attacker would be able to do mischief to the controller.

Security is a huge problem for companies and an even larger one for individuals. Security makes stuff harder to use and managing trust is very difficult.
