Installation and Operation Guide SOLECTRIA XGI 1000 (Rev D)
Firmware Update
This screen allows a user in administrator mode to update the firmware.
The SOLECTRIA XGI 1000 series inverter supports both local and remote firmware updates. Remote updates
are performed automatically from the Yaskawa Solectria Solar server or by request through our technical support
department by calling (978-683-9700 ext 2). Remote firmware updates require an internet connection.
Local firmware updates must be performed with a laptop and an Ethernet cable.
By default, Enable Automatic Remote Firmware update is selected. The inverter will check for firmware updates
and download automatically if one is available. The firmware will only be downloaded once to the gateway
inverter and then distributed across the rest of the network. On the following morning, all inverters will perform a
self-update. During the self-update the inverters may not produce power. Updates are completed in the early AM
once PV power has stabilized but prior to peak production to reduce lost revenue. The firmware download is a
small file of only incremental bits making its data usage minimal.
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
Owner will be responsible for performing any firmware updates.
