FCC Narrows Covered List Restrictions on Foreign Power Inverters
Agency reverses course on broad July restrictions
WASHINGTON, August 24, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission has significantly scaled back restrictions it imposed less than a month ago on foreign-produced power inverters.
In a notice released Thursday, the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau revised the definition of “power inverters” on the agency’s Covered List, substantially narrowing the universe of inverters subject to the restrictions, while also tightening the rules for the inverters that do remain covered.
