<p>This paper proposes a grid-connected photovoltaic inverter featuring low leakage current and reactive power injection capability. The proposed inverter does not have the problems of shoot-through and reverse recovery associated with the MOSFET body diode. Leakage current causes many issues in grid-connected photovoltaic inverters, including safety problems, electromagnetic interference, and efficiency reduction. In addition, high leakage current may limit the lifetime of the system and prevent compliance with international safety standards. The proposed inverter significantly reduces the leakage current by stabilizing the Common-Mode voltage, thereby improving both reliability and energy yield. Moreover, the proposed modulation scheme for this inverter enables reactive power injection capability, which is increasingly required by power grids to maintain voltage stability and improve power quality. A theoretical analysis of the inverter has been conducted, and both simulation and experimental results obtained using a 500 W prototype confirm its validity. These results confirm the practicality of the proposed approach.</p>
