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 just blinking at the same rate intervals instead of jut green but does not watch the instruction, which describes a .5 second then 2-second pause before the next blink blink. so confusing. But or garden battery system on 40 volts produces already 20 watts.

Any idea if the growatt is faulty?
 
Errr.........you do really read the specification of 3600 tl-x...right?

It needs 100v start voltage to trigger MPPT operation between 80v - 550v.

There are 2 different statements as you can see above it says this in the manual.

Also what is confusing light is blinking and is not supposed to it just blinks on and off not like it suposed to.1706617936836.png1706618600429.png

There is nothing wrong with your 3600tl-x inverter.
The inverter is in standby mode when the voltage is above 70V as described by your LED blinking statement.
You don't have sufficient start voltage 100V to trigger the MPPT charging operation, even if you do, the lowest it can "mppt" is between 80V-550V.

I agree now but, the blinking light was a confusing one as it is not blinking as described. I deal only in black and white or absolutes.
Thanks
