This paper deals with a new ultra-efficient circuit for the individual maximum power point (MPP) tracking of an unlimited number of photovoltaic strings. The circuit generates a DC output voltage and can be combined with common DC-AC solar inverter circuits. The necessary blocking voltages of the transistors are far below the maximum string voltages, which yields to low losses and small passive components. An appropriate controller structure is developed and a prototype is built up, that reaches a maximum efficiency of 99.85 percent.

Photovoltaic inverters are widely used to feed solar generated power into the public grid. Inverter topologies have to be carefully chosen, depending on the type and on the power of the solar generator. A new transformerless, three-level photovoltaic inverter circuit for multiple strings is investigated in this paper. It allows an individual MPP tracking of each string without needing a full scale boost converter for each input. Furthermore, either the positive poles or the negative poles of the strings can be connected to the neutral conductor N. Therefore, the topology is especially suited for thin-film or back-side contacted solar modules.
