  Firmware Updates 

SOLECTRIA  XGI  inverters  support  local  and  remote  firmware  updates.  Remote  updates  are  performed 
automatically  from  the  Yaskawa  Solectria  Solar  server  or  manually  via  the  Remote  Access  Portal  (with 
subscription). 

Local firmware updates can be performed with a laptop and an Ethernet cable. 

 

Automatic Remote Firmware Updates 

By default, Automatic Remote Firmware updates are enabled. When selected, the inverter will check for 
firmware updates and download automatically if one is available. The firmware will be downloaded to the 
gateway inverter and then distributed across the rest of the network. On the following morning (or after a power 
cycle), all inverters will perform a self-update. During the self-update the inverters may not produce power. 
Updates generally occur in the early AM once PV power has stabilized but prior to peak production, reducing 
lost revenue.  

Having the Enable Automatic Remote Firmware update unchecked is not recommended as product 
improvements may have occurred since the purchase of the product. If the user disables this feature, the site 
operator will be responsible for performing any firmware updates. 

 

Manual Firmware Updates, Locally 

Manual firmware updates performed locally should be performed with a PC and an Ethernet connection. 
Firmware updates over WiFi are not supported. 

 

Manual Firmware Updates, Remote Server 

Users that choose not to enable remote firmware updates, but still have onsite internet access can initiate a 
one-time firmware updates from our remote servers. Remote server paths can be found on our website 

www.solectria.com

 or by contacting technical support at 978-386-9700x2. 

 

Manual Firmware Updates, Remote Access Portal 

Manual firmware updates are supported on the Remote Access Portal. For more information regarding the 
Remote Access Portal and manual remote firmware updates, see 

Remote Access Portal Administrator
