Industrial PV Inverters
The evolution in power converter technology for PV applications, driven by the growth in the PV installed capacity and the search for the ultimate PV inverter, has led to the existence of a wide variety of power converter topologies used in practice. Figure 3 shows several industrial PV inverter topologies for central, string, multistring, and ac-module configurations, which will be analyzed in this section. Table 3 summarizes some of the characteristics of some commercial power converter topologies for these PV inverter applications.
