Firmware & Software

Fronius SnapINverters have a Fronius Datamanager 2.0 integrated by default. The inverter and the Datamanager are updated separately. The only exception is the Symo Hybrid, where the inverter and its Hybridmanager are updated together in one go.

Firmware update via Fronius Solar.web

On Solar.web under "Settings - Components" you can remotely start the latest firmware update of your SnapINverter and Datamanager.

Local update of a Fronius SnapINverter via USB:

1. Download the update file here.
2. Copy the froXXXXX.upd file onto an empty USB flash drive. The flash drive must be formatted with FAT32.
3. Connect the flash drive to the USB port of the inverter. Note: Remove the lower, grey cover of the inverter.
4. Start the update via the inverter display under "Setup" - "USB" - "Software Update".
5. The currently installed firmware version and the new firmware version of the inverter will appear. Press Enter (far right key) again to start the firmware update.

Local update of a Fronius Datamanager via LAN

2. Open the downloaded file by right-clicking it and selecting "Run as administrator". A window opens with the note "ftp-server is running."
3. Set the IP switch on the Datamanager to position A (small DIP switch by the 4 LEDs).
4. Connect your PC / laptop to the SnapINverter (Datamanager) using a network cable (CAT5 or higher).

Fronius Symo Hybrid

The local update of the Symo Hybrid is only available up to version 1.8.2-1. For any further updates the Symo Hybrid must be connected to the internet and updated remotely via Fronius Solar.web.

The package 'Fronius Solar.update/Agilo' contains the latest software for Fronius Agilo inverters. It can be executed via Fronius Solar.Service software.

We recommend reloading the country setup of the inverter (e.g. Setup DE, Setup ES, etc.) after a firmware update to apply all changes to the memory. Please consider that reloading the country setup sets all grid parameters to their default values. If any individual parameters, that differ from the national norm, are required, you have to make these changes again manually via the inverter display.
