Abstract

In the recent years the research on photovoltaic converters has been focused on topologies that do not feature a line frequency transformer, in order to reduce costs and successfully increase the overall efficiency. The main problem in removing the galvanic isolation is that the parasitic capacitance present between the cell and the metal frame enclosing the panel (usually earth-connected) enables a common-mode current to be injected into the grid by the converter.
