Securing Solar for the Grid Industry Advisory Board Meeting

Please join the Solar Energy Technologies Office, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and Idaho National Laboratory virtually on March 14, 2024, from 9 to 11 a.m. MT for the Securing Solar for the Grid (S2G) Industry Advisory Board meeting.

This meeting is convened by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office and facilitated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories.

The S2G initiative supports cybersecurity research, training, standards development, and consensus-building around device, network, application, and system-level cybersecurity for distributed energy resources and inverter-based resources.

The Spring 2024 meeting will focus on updates from the research team and collect feedback and inputs for an updated solar cybersecurity roadmap. Researchers from the four participating DOE national laboratories will present with industry counterparts on the major research tasks within the S2G program, including:

• Solar cybersecurity standards and certifications
• Solar risk assessments and mitigation
• Solar supply chain assessment
• Network monitoring tools and analysis
• Training and workforce development.

Sandia National Laboratories developed an original Roadmap for PV Cybersecurity in 2017. This year, we are updating that roadmap to reflect the current state of research and identify gaps and priorities still to be addressed. We look forward to the Industry Advisory Board's input on key topics for the roadmap.

Ample time for discussion, feedback, and soliciting ideas will be provided. For more information on S2G, please visit the DOE S2G page or NREL's cybersecurity page.
