Abstract: Depletion of fossil fuel, unremitting increase in power demand and environmental concern develops a thought among power community to adopt new sources of power generation i.e. renewable energy sources. Due the abundance of solar energy PV systems are more popular, which can isolate from grid with the help of transformer. These transformers increase the cost and make the system more complex with decrease of efficiency. At the same time absence of transformer in grid connected system injects the leakage current in the inverter and increases the electromagnetic emissions, harmonics and losses in the system. To address the above many research have been done related to eliminate this leakage current. In this paper an exhaustive review has been done in the subject area.
