Fronius said its customers are now able to remotely update their inverter software over the web. Fronius SnapINverters with internet connection are able to receive the software update if they are registered on Fronius Solar.web, the company’s free monitoring system.
Remote Update is available as of now for any Fronius Galvo, Fronius Primo and Fronius Symo inverter with an integrated and web-connected Fronius Datamanager (software version 3.7.4-6 or higher). Fronius SnapINverters manufactured with a serial number greater than 2716xxx are already capable of Remote Update. With older units, the integrated Fronius Datamanager can be updated onsite to make it capable of performing inverter software updates remotely.
“If you look at current smart devices, software updates triggered by simply pushing a button became a part of our daily lives. With Remote Update, we create the same experience with our inverters,” said Wolfgang Niedrist, President & CEO of Fronius USA.
Fronius siad that every solar system should have monitoring capabilities. Whether you are a system operator with thousands of inverters spread across the country or a homeowner with one inverter, Fronius said you can benefit from its free Fronius Solar.web platform. Remote diagnostics and alerts such as proactive email notifications when an inverter is underperforming and state code awareness are just two examples. The ability to view state codes remotely helps determine whether a truck roll is truly necessary or not. Remote Update via Fronius Solar.web eliminates another category of O&M complexity and cost.
“Fronius Solar.web helps installers increase their customer satisfaction and trust by ensuring high system uptime and best performance at lowest cost of ownership”, Niedrist explains. “Furthermore, Fronius Solar.web is also a lead database for future sales and a customer relationship tool for installers.”
