@metacurity Depressingly, a quick search on Shodan-like services for my make of Solar PV charge controller shows many that have not been set to read-only, so you could change their network details at the very least, which could mess up monitoring and alerts 🙄
I've just found one where the modbus-TCP option is still writeable.
You could really mess up the system by over-volting the battery to cause a fire, or at least break the controller. 😭
In this case it looks like a small system, so it's probably just someone's home system, but still....
