The demand for clean and sustainable energy has prompted research into all types of renewable energy sources, including solar energy generated by photovoltaic systems. We suggest a new multi level inverter topology in this paper. This paper looks at a PV-based 13-level multi level inverter with fewer switches. The most gainful power converters for high power applications and modern applications with fewer switches are multi level inverters. PWM methodology is used to manage the proposed topology. The proposed topology has one of the highest efficiency and lower voltage THD. The inverter produces output voltage in thirteen levels: Vdc, Vdc/2, Vdc/3, Vdc/4, Vdc/5, Vdc/6, 0, -Vdc, -Vdc/2, -Vdc/3, -Vdc/4, -Vdc/5 and -Vdc/6. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through simulation.KEY WORDS: Pulse Width modulation (PWM), Photo Voltaic (PV) Source.
