Compatibility · Ready for GridZeno
Growatt MIC with GridZeno.
A small grid inverter without a battery. GridZeno shows the solar production but can't control anything on it. Applies to MIC 600-3300TL-X and TL-X2.

02
How the inverter is controlled
The dongle reads the inverter and never writes anything to it.
- What GridZeno reads
- Solar production. A MIC has no energy meter the dongle can read, so grid and consumption aren't shown.
- Battery
- None. The inverter is a grid inverter without a battery, so there's nothing to charge or sell from.
- Grid export
- Growatt's protocol has no export limit on a MIC, so GridZeno can't stop the sale.
Manual means no switching
When the control is on Manual, GridZeno calculates the plan and shows it, but changes nothing on the inverter.
03
What is special about the Growatt MIC
The type code 210, or 5200 when the range from 3000 doesn't answer.
- The grid
- A MIC has no measurement of the grid. So the dongle sends no grid values, rather than a measured zero.
- Export limit
- None. VPP V2.01 has no limit for a MIC, Growatt's RTU protocol doesn't cover it, and no MIC has been seen with registers 122 and 123.
How it differs from its neighbours
- Growatt MIN TL-X: The MIN TL-X has the type code 5201 or 5200 with the range from 3000, and the dongle can lower its export limit.
From the dongle's firmware and our notes on each inverter, not from the datasheet.
04
How to connect the dongle
Wires in the inverter's terminal plug. Approx. 25 minutes.
- Port
- COM (8-pin signal connector)
- Pin
- A at pin 3 (RS485A1), B at pin 4 (RS485B1)
- Where
- The 8-pin connector marked COM on the underside, next to the USB port. The same connector is used for the energy meter and the current clamp, so there may already be wires in it.
