On-the-analysis and reduction of common-mode voltage of a single-stage inverter through control of a four-leg-based topology

•Non-renewable energy paradigm is gradually shifting into renewable energy structure.•Further possible switching states are achieved by the utilization of a four-leg inverter.•SSI incorporates the boosting capability to avoid the front-end boost converter.•Lowest number of switching transitions and pk-pk CMV are achieved by XOR logic gate.
