This paper presents a photovoltaic (PV) system to convert the solar energy into electrical energy. DC power from PV system is converted into AC power using multilevel inverters. Cascaded H-bridge (CHB) inverter and diode clamped inverter (DCI) are used to convert variable DC power into sinusoidal AC power. Harmonic content is the important part to improve the efficiency of the inverter. Harmonics of CHB inverter and DCI are simulated and analyzed with different pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques.
