A Review on Small Power Rating PV Inverter Topologies and Smart PV Inverters [PDF]
The two most critical deciding factors for power consumption are energy efficiency and cost. Power electronic circuits are widely used and play an important role in achieving high efficiency in power distribution to customers and power transfer from source to load. Furthermore, solar energy is abundant, sustainable, and pollution-free in nature.
