This paper discusses the signal and power isolation needs in PV inverters and how integration of isolation functions using microtransformers can improve the system performance and reliability and reduce the system size and cost. . An inverter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system. It's a device that converts direct current (DC) electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to alternating current (AC) electricity, which the electrical grid uses. DC power from the solar panels, which act like a dc current source, is converted to ac and fed onto the utility's grid in the correct phase relationship—with up to 98%. . For safety and operational concerns, grid-tied PV converters need to have harvested dc be isolated from the ac grid. Bonding ties all metallic components together so no dangerous voltage difference exists between racks, frames, or chassis.
