I appreciate your hesitation. I do think that we’re gonna continue to see the shift in warfare to attacking civilians through infrastructure, like what Russia is doing to Ukraine right now by knocking out the power and heat to homes to kill as many vulnerable people as possible, and we make a much easier target than anything military exactly like you said. The sheer variability in people’s views on personal security is enough to give a person with the drive and smarts a way in, never mind how they actually behave.

Caution is warranted, and so is starting to legislate and produce balcony solar products. The first model year of any new car is a stress test, and they take the problems owners have had and work to refine it. Similarly, I don’t install a brand new operating system without at least one or two updates under its belt. 😅 We can do the same for balcony solar to harden it against hacking and improve safety, but I think it’s valid to worry about whether or not the grid itself could cope with an attack. Like Jesus, would it ever suck to find out it couldn’t after the fact!
