Electric energy consumption is increasing rapidly due to the increased energy demand in the world. The government is compelled to reduce the utilisation of fossil fuels due to global warming and to invest in renewable source of energy. Non-conventional power-generation methods can be utilised to supplement the energy produced from conventional resources. In photovoltaic (PV), the power that one module can produce is not sufficient to meet the requirements of domestic or industries. Most PV arrays use an inverter to convert the DC power into AC that can power the motors, loads, lights etc. Due to this constrains for PV applications a Switched Inductor Based Three-Switch Single-Phase Inverter is proposed. The proposed inverter eliminates leakage current in PV systems by providing a common ground between the input and output terminals. A comparison of proposed inverter with similar inverters are done. Addition of switched inductor concept boosted the voltage gain to 5.9 for the proposed inverter. The performance study is carried out with MATLAB R2020b software and the result is analysed. For a 26V input DC voltage, an output AC voltage of 110V, 50Hz is obtained. A 9W prototype of proposed inverter is implemented using TMS320F28027F controller and the experimental results prove the performance of the proposed Inverter.
