EU Commission Blocks Funding for Huawei Solar Technology

May 4, 2026

Inverters convert the electricity from solar panels into a current that integrates with the grid, with Huawei being a market leader in this technology.

The EU has been concerned about Huawei and ZTE’s roles in 5G networks and is urging EU members to remove them from telecom networks, aiming to make this move mandatory.

Concerns have recently arisen regarding Huawei’s dominance in the solar technology market.

Foreign interference risks in clean energy networks include manipulation of electricity production, disruption of generation, and unauthorized data access, potentially leading to nationwide blackouts, McGarry stated Monday.

The ban affects suppliers from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, with Chinese suppliers holding a significant market share in solar inverters, according to an EU official.

The revised Cybersecurity Act aims to address these risks in the medium term. Beijing recently threatened retaliation over efforts to limit Chinese suppliers in the EU market.

Huawei did not immediately respond to a comment request.
