This paper presents a parallel topology of a modular photovoltaic inverter allowing a marked improvement in the quality of the output energy signal. This is a feature of much interest in practical applications as it will produce an output signal with very low harmonic distortions. In this contribution we describe the inverter then the bipolar pulse width modulation (PWM) strategy which will bevalidateby simulation. Finally some experimental results are exposed to illustrate our work.
