Abstract :
An introduction to the more important inverter circuits for photovoltaic (PV) plants is presented. Their relative merits and drawbacks are examined, with particular emphasis on power quality, reliability, and efficiency. It is concluded that transistor circuits will probably conquer the small power field, whereas high-power converters will use thyristors and GTOs
