Abstract
This paper introduces a non‑isolated DC‑to‑DC converter designed for microinverter applications that target operation within a wide range of input voltages. The aim is to enhance solar energy utilisation in regions with low solar irradiance by integrating microinverters with solar panels. The converter results show enhanced voltage gain ranging from 15 to 28‑fold under a duty cycle of 0.4 to 0.6 which makes its performance suitable for solar energy systems in tough environments. The proposed converter topology acts as an intermediary between photovoltaic systems and the utility grid or local loads to facilitate the seamless integration of renewable energy sources.
