Learn why the Growatt ShineWiFi-X blue light flashes every 5 seconds and how to fix it.
A flashing blue light typically indicates a communication issue between the inverter and the monitoring app.
Check the WiFi connection, ensure the inverter is powered, and restart the device if necessary.
The flashing blue light indicates that the ShineWiFi-X is attempting to establish a connection with the inverter but is failing. This could be due to several factors affecting the communication protocol established over Wi-Fi. Inverters rely on these communications to relay performance data back to the monitoring system. If the ShineWiFi-X cannot maintain a stable connection, it triggers the blue light to alert users of the issue. Potential electrical logic failures could stem from RISO measurement failures, ground fault detection anomalies, or even grid frequency limits impacting the inverter's operational parameters.
The Growatt ShineWiFi-X module exhibits a blue light flashing every 5 seconds. This is typically accompanied by alerts on the monitoring app indicating a communication failure with the inverter. Users may also notice a drop in solar production data being transmitted to the cloud platform.
Always consult a licensed electrician or certified solar installer when troubleshooting electrical components to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
To avoid future issues with the ShineWiFi-X, ensure that the system site has a robust Wi-Fi signal, conduct regular firmware updates, and periodically check the connections and settings of the module. Additionally, consider implementing a monitoring routine to catch potential issues early on.
