Inhalt:
The main focus of the paper is on flyback microinverters in solar energy systems and the paper is divided into two sections. The general principles behind flyback microinverters are reviewed, several previously proposed flyback microinverters are presented, and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. A low cost technique for improving the efficiency of a basic dc-ac flyback microinverter is proposed in the paper. The proposed efficiency improving technique is based on a passive snubber and its feasibility is confirmed with experimental results obtained from a lab prototype.
