More Details: Abstract Transformerless grid‐connected inverters (GCIs) are universally utilized in the PV system. However, they have the shoot‐through issue and common mode leakage current (CMLC). To address the above‐mentioned issues, a transformerless common‐ground GCI without shoot‐through issue is proposed. The proposed topology has one common ground between the PV array and the grid that eliminates the CMLC. The topology is the combination of two buck‐boost converters, so it has the boost capability. Each buck‐boost converter operates in half‐line period, so the proposed inverter is a single‐stage system. Only two switches operate in high frequency in positive half‐line period and only one switch operates in high frequency in negative half‐line period. Therefore, efficiency of the system can be improved. There is no current flowing through the body diode of the MOSFET. Additionally, the presented inverter has no shoot‐through problem. The operating principle is elaborated. At last, simulation and experimental results of a 250 W proposed inverter validate the theoretical analysis. The maximum efficiency of the system is 96.2%.
