    growatt min 3600 tl-x not generating even in sunshine

    We now have a growatt min 3600 tl-x, but it is still not producing/generating any electricity even in sunshine, we have 2 sets of solar panels with a dual mppt controller, yesterday I got a reading of over 70 volt, but no wattage. Should it not produce some wattage? The green light is steady...

    24 volt series adding 1 200 watt 12volt panel

    Could i then connect the output from the second mppt to the existing solar panel string in parallel and then connect the total to the PV input of the inverter instead of direct of connecting to the battery?
