Technical aspects involved in the practical implementation of grid tied solar inverter

Renewable energy is expected to play an increasingly prominent role in Indian power sector in the coming decades giving its various benefits. This source of energy is viewed as strategic resource which will in the long run form the cornerstone of our energy security. These sources are clean and non-polluting. Solar energy is one among the sources which is sustainable and totally inexhaustible. Solar photovoltaic is considered to be the best means of tapping solar energy. Power Electronics plays an important role in harvesting energy from Solar photovoltaic. In this paper the basic technology for grid connected inverter is presented with site implementation. A 1MW solar PV power plant suitable for Indian grid conditions has been successfully implemented and demonstrated.
