Forum Solar PLUS: cybersecurity in networked energy systems

On 24 and 25 November 2026 we will be at Forum Solar PLUS at the bcc Berlin Congress Center, with a small stand and a short talk.

Talk: cybersecurity in networked energy systems

On Wednesday, 25 November, around 1:30 pm, Tilo Zwesper, Sales Manager DACH at REFU, will speak in the session “The invisible infrastructure of the energy transition”, moderated by Tina Barroso of Conexio-PSE.

PV plants and storage systems are closely networked today. Inverters, plant controllers, remote access and interfaces to higher-level systems make operation efficient, but they also create points of attack. In six minutes, Tilo will show where the risks lie and which protective measures and requirements belong in planning and operation.

What it is about

• Where networked plants are vulnerable: inverters, controllers, remote access and external systems
• Which rules apply now and which are coming: Radio Equipment Directive (RED), NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act
• Which questions project developers should ask their suppliers
• How a plant stays under your own control, using REFUlink and REFUview as an example

“Performance is nothing without control. Anyone who networks energy systems needs to know who is allowed to control them, right from the first planning step.”
