Abstract: A DC-to-AC power converter is disclosed. The power converter has a DC input to receive DC power from a photovoltaic device, an AC output configured for direct connection to an AC mains power supply line, six semiconductor switches, one isolated high-frequency power transformer, two high-frequency inductors, a small resonant capacitor, and a large non-electrolytic (e.g. film) capacitor energy storage component. One of the semiconductor switches located on the primary side of the transformer operates to regulate the voltage across the non-electrolytic capacitor energy storage component. A second semiconductor switch located on the primary side of the transformer provides a resonant reset for the energy stored in the transformer and allows the first semiconductor switch to operate with nearly zero-voltage-switching.
