People should only use solar panels, inverters and electrical appliances with clear origins; keep invoices, images and device serial numbers to serve verification when necessary.
In addition, it is necessary to coordinate with adjacent households, self-management groups, and forces participating in protecting security and order at the grassroots level to promptly detect subjects with suspicious signs.
