Popis: The leakage currents caused by high-frequency common-mode (CM) voltage have become a major concern in transformerless photovoltaic (PV) inverters. This paper addresses to a review on dc-ac converters applied to PV systems that can avoid the circulation of leakage currents. Looking for a lower cost and higher reliability solution, a 250 W PV transformerless micro-inverter prototype based on the bipolar full-bridge topology was built and tested. As it is confirmed by experimental results, this topology is able to maintain the CM voltage constant and prevent the circulation of CM currents through the circuit.
