Scientific Reports 15, Article number: 8841 (2025) Cite this article Transformerless inverters with common ground structure are favoured in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems primarily due to their ability to effectively suppress leakage current, eliminate transformer-related losses, enhance efficiency, and reduce costs.
Conventional two-level inverters have many drawbacks, including higher THD, significant switching losses, and high voltage stress on semiconductor switches within inverter. As a consequence, they are primarily utilized in medium power and low-voltage grid-connected applications.
