Abstract

Micro inverters used in Solar photovoltaic applications are gaining more importance due to their highharvesting of energy and simple control scheme. The Micro inverter with half bridge and full bridge topologies along with operating modes are explained. The proposed topologies are simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results are provided. These topologies have reduced harmonics with increased output voltage. The theoretical values are validated through the simulation results. The obtained output voltage 28V with the input of 10V and harmonics is reduced below 7.5%.
