With increasing power consumption and demand for power, PV applications are coming up as ideal solution. The objective of this paper is to achieve high gain, high efficiency DC-DC converter for the PV application. This converter uses three switches to boost the output voltage up to 6 times the input voltage with duty cycle in the range 16%-25%. Thus reducing the conduction losses as compared to conventional boost converter. The converter uses transformer less topology as efficiency of the transformer less topology is better than the transformer topology. The converter is designed for an input of 25-50V and output of 300 to drive load of 450W. The results are validated using PSIM software.
