January 8, 2025 – Norwalk, CT – GameChange Solar (GCS), a leading global supplier of solar tracker and fixed-tilt racking technology, is proud to announce that GridSecurity Inc. has evaluated the Genius Tracker™ system and determined that it meets the enforceable NERC CIP (Critical Infrastructure Protection) requirements applicable to low-impact BES (Bulk Electric System) Cyber Systems. GridSecurity also confirmed that GameChange Solar’s procurement policies align with the NERC CIP-013-2 Supply Chain standard.
As solar farms integrate IoT devices and SCADA systems, they face growing cyber risks, including operational disruptions and data breaches. Regulatory frameworks like NERC CIP address these vulnerabilities to ensure grid security and reliability.
The Genius Tracker system’s robust architecture and detailed technical documentation support compliance with CIP-002-5.1a and CIP-003-8 standards. While it remains the Generator Owner’s responsibility to achieve full compliance with all applicable NERC CIP standards, this review confirms that the Genius Tracker system can be used to achieve this goal. GameChange Solar’s proactive procurement policies further support Generator Owners in navigating complex compliance landscapes.
“GameChange Solar’s commitment to meeting NERC CIP low-impact and CIP-013-2 compliance requirements is commendable,” said John Franzino, CEO of GridSecurity. “Their collaboration with our team empowers Generator Owners to make informed decisions and implement effective strategies with the Genius Tracker™ system.”
By addressing cyber risks and working closely with GridSecurity, GameChange Solar reinforces its role as a trusted partner for Generator Owners seeking secure, compliant, and efficient solar tracking systems.
