Abstract

This paper discussed the latest development of single-phase single stage current source inverters for grid connected photovoltaic system. In general, the single-phase single stage inverters are categorized into four types of topologies: 1) H-Bridge, 2) buck-boost, 3) flyback type chopper and 4) Z-Source inverter. The inverters are compared and evaluated on switching technique, switching frequency, efficiency, output power, MPPT method, power factor and THD.
