This study presents a three‐phase four‐wire grid‐tied solar photovoltaic (SPV) energy conversion system with a reduced ordered generalised integrator frequency locked loop (ROGI‐FLL) based control for the extraction of fundamental grid voltages. The reference grid currents are extracted by using the proposed filtered‐s least mean square (FsLMS) current control for voltage source converter (VSC) switching. This VSC is capable of performing multifunctions like compensating harmonics of non‐linear loads, the grid currents balancing, mitigation of neutral current and it stabilises the DC link voltage. The SPV array generates the active power for feeding loads and to the grid. Matlab environment is used to develop the model of the proposed scheme and simulation results of the system are validated with test results on a developed prototype. Test results have shown the good responses at different environmental conditions. Moreover, a comparative study is performed with ROGI‐FLL controller and other controls at the grid voltages unbalancing, DC offset and the grid voltages distortion conditions. This FsLMS‐based control has shown fast convergence, less oscillations and low settling time as compared with other controls at load unbalancing. Simulated and test results have satisfied the objective of this system and it meets the IEEE‐519 standard.
