Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) inverters, whatever the rated power, have currently very high efficiency. For home systems, cost is the key point to remain competitive. When comparing performance, the conversion efficiency is being emphasized, while the overall system harvest efficiency is unfairly neglected. This paper investigates specific constraints on PV inverters and offers a design methodology resulting in optimal cost/performance designs.
