This paper presents a module‐integrated isolated solar micro‐inverter. The studied grid‐tied micro‐inverters can individually extract the maximum solar power from each photovoltaic (PV) panel and transfer to the AC utility system. A harmonic suppression technique is used to reduce the DC‐bus capacit...
