Remote firmware update lets you load new inverter or logger firmware over a network connection, so nobody has to bring a USB drive to site. On FIMER and ABB UNO-DM and PVS inverters, you start a remote update from the internal web server: press CHECK to look for the newest firmware on the manufacturer's servers, then press UPDATE. On SMA products, the parameter Upd.AutoUpdIsOn switches automatic updates on or off, with No as the standard setting. You can change it from the device user interface, a System Manager or Sunny Portal. The Sunny WebBox has its own setting under Data transmission. Generac PV Link and the CSI-125KTL-GS-E support over-the-air updates. Generac says installers should still check that the firmware is current and recommends a high-speed internet connection.

Scope: products CPS SCH125KTL-AIO/US-600, CPS SCH275KTL-DO/US-800, CPS SCH350KTL-DO/US-800, CPS SCA50-60KTL-DO/US-480, CPS SCA36KTL-DO/US-480, CPS SCA100K-T-US-480 / SCA50K-T-US-208

CPS inverters list remote diagnostics and firmware upgrade as standard when the FlexOM Gateway is installed; the gateway is sold as an accessory for some models.

review note: support check: partial - Passages say remote diagnostics/firmware upgrade is standard with FlexOM gateway, gateway purchasable as accessory, and remote upgrade if installed; but per-product scope coverage isn't shown for all listed models (only some u-ids), and 'sold as accessory for some models' is only generally stated.
