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
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 Installation and Operations Manual.
