Start up voltage

I have a Gen 1 HY3.6 Inverter
I understood that start up voltage was 120v but have noticed that my inverter seems slow to start solar generation in the mornings.
This morning string 1 (east) showed 246v and string 2 (west) 223v before solar generation was showing. String voltage was above 200v for and hour before solar generation was recorded.
Looking back at random dates over the last 6 months the start up voltage seems to vary before solar generation is recorded. How does this work, if both strings or one string is over 120v should it be recording solar generation. Why is it some mornings string voltage is well over 200v before solar generation is recorded.

Thanks.
