description Abstract This paper gives an overview of previous studies on photovoltaic (PV) devices, grid-connected PV inverters, control systems, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategies, switching devices and transformer-less inverters. The literature is classified based on types of PV systems, DC/DC boost converters and DC/AC inverters, and types of controllers that control the circuit to ensure maximum power tracking and stabilization of load and input voltage. This is followed by the theoretical background of PV devices, an overview of MPPT controllers and common mode leakage current, and a detailed investigation of different inverter topologies regarding the ground leakage current. Furthermore, design principles of power converters, such as DC/DC boost converters, and single-phase inverters are discussed. The paper also discusses limitations and benefits in addition to the basic operating principles of several topologies. Finally, the proposed system is derived and its simulation results are discussed to offer the next generation of grid connected PV systems.
