In this paper, a new grid tied short-through proof solar photovoltaic (PV) inverter that is short-through proof is presented. Detailed presentation of this new solar inverter is preceded by a brief explanation of the generalized solar PV inverter, its types and some representative grid tied solar inverters (mainly micro-inverters) that are currently trending in the solar PV power conversion industry. The merits of each of these briefly explained solar inverter types and power circuits are emphasized. The new grid tied galvanic isolated solar inverter power circuit is then explained in detailed, analyzed and the steady state time varying circuit voltages and currents given. In addition to being short through proof, the new grid tied solar inverter is scalable from solar PV micro-inverter to solar PV central inverter in output power capability unlike the conventional grid-connected single phase inverters.
