The main advantages of a current-source flyback inverter are high power density and high efficiency due to its small, as well as low total harmonic distortion (THD) operation. However, a flyback topology works with Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) control strategy has lower efficiency and poor THD values. In this paper, an efficient current-source flyback inverter topology works with Boundary Conduction Mode (BCM) control strategy is presented. Besides, an efficient incremental conductance (IC) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is used to extract the maximum power from the PV module. To verify the proposed control a power simulator (PSIM) software is used. As a result, the simulation results indicates that the BCM control is more efficient than the DCM method for various weather conditions. Finally, the proposed BCM strategy is compared with DCM control in terms of THD and thus it is achieved lower THD contain in the injection current of grid.1182021118202113214018https://wseas.com/journals/electronics/2021/a365103-1118.pdf10.37394/232017.2021.12.18https://wseas.com/journals/electronics/2021/a365103-1118.pdf10.1016/j.rser.2008.03.008Evans, A., Strezov, V., & Evans, T.
