Abstract
The invention is a bipolar solar photovoltaic to three-phase AC power converter with a novel non-isolated power conversion topology which allows multiple power converter outputs to be directly paralleled without the need for synchronized switching or galvanic isolation. The invention directly supports a new approach to solar photovoltaic system design wherein a large number of distributed lower power converters are used in lieu of one large central inverter.
