Abstract

As PV solar installations continue to grow rapidly over the last decade, the need for solar inverters with high efficiency, improved power density and higher power handling capabilities continue to increase. Today this is state of the art that these systems have a power conversion system (PCS) for battery storage integrated.

This application note outlines the most relevant power topology considerations for designing power stages commonly used in Solar Inverters and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
