Overview: In this paper, Laboratory tests on a new modular inverter using an application-specific integrated circuit are discussed. The inverter design is optimized for Ascom's large-scale telecom production facilities. The ASIC is developed by means of sophisticated simulation tools and is the key controlling unit in the design. Special attention is paid to the behavior of inverters in parallel in relation to harmonic distortion, to estimate the effect of large-scale PV integration. This design process resulted in a rapid adaptation to market demands for a new low-cost inverter and brought the final user price below one ?/W and the warranty period to ten-years.
