PV systems are becoming more popular now a days, due to increase in the energy demand and it also reduces the
environment pollution around the world. This paper proposes a reduced switches count of five-level H-bridge inverter with
integrated boost converter in solar PV system. The proposed 5-level reduced switches count H-bridge MLI configuration requires
less no.of power semiconductor devices compared to that of conventional MLI topology. In this paper INC MPPT control
technique is used, which provides a duty ratio for controlling dc-dc boost converter and allowing the PV cells to operate more
efficiently and extract maximum solar energy. The phase shifted sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PSCPWM) control
technique is used for controlling the gating pulse of 5-level reduced switches H-bridge inverter.
