Multilevel DC/AC Inverters have various structures. They have many advantages. Unfortunately, most existing inverters content too many components (independent/floating batteries/sources, diodes, Capacitors and switches). The "Switched-Capacitors Used in Multilevel DC/AC Inverters” introduced in this project, is new approach of the development in this area. Their simple structure and clear operation are obviously different from the existing multilevel inverters. Its application in Solar Panel Energy Systems is successful. The simulation and experimental results strongly support our design. These inverters will draw much attention over the world, and be applied in other renewable energy systems.
