Manuals & Hardware Files

Every number, documented.

Hardware documentation, PCB files, schematics, and BOM - all open. The firmware running the inverter MCU is proprietary. We don't release it. That's our moat. The hardware is yours to study, modify, and build on.

A note on firmware

The firmware that runs on the inverter MCU is proprietary. We don't publish it - not binaries, not source. It's our engineering moat. You're welcome to reverse-engineer it. Builders who go deep and share findings publicly in our Discord get hardware, pre-release units, and direct access to our engineering team.

Firmware changelog

We publish a public changelog for each firmware update - version number, what changed, and any safety-relevant notes. Binaries are not included. The changelog is the record. If something in a release affects how you interact with the hardware, you'll find it here.

v2.4.1Apr 2026BMS UART timeout fix - prevents false OCP trips when expansion battery connects cold.
v2.4.0Mar 2026PD3.1 48V/5A EPR support on USB-C ports. ECO mode hysteresis tuning.
v2.3.2Jan 2026Surge detection improvement - reduced false trip rate on reactive loads by 40%.
v2.3.0Nov 2025Touchscreen UI redesign. Per-port watt display. Thermal graph added to system info.
