Popis: The quest for universal energy access continues to be a major concern globally. Renewable energy technologies such as solar PV are viable options to meet this energy poverty with DC–AC power converters playing a major role in solar PV systems. Current designs of these converters suffer from high standby energy consumption and high input threshold voltage. This paper presents the design and implementation of a single-phase DC–AC power converter with low threshold input voltage and optimized standby power consumption. A multivibrator, pulse width modulation signal generator, MOSFETs, and a multiple secondary winding center tap transformer were used in the system design. The results show an optimized power converter having a low input threshold voltage of 10.5V and power consumption of 9.49W.
