India has seen a notable increase in adoption of the renewable energy, Various policies and schemes had been proposed in India to focalize on renewable energy sector. For solar energy conversion, an AC module that functions as a grid-connected inverter after a PV module is needed. ZSI is being used to alleviate a myriad of issues that VSI and CSI have. An impedance source inverter provided with triggering pulses generated by maximum boost control modulation technique is presented in this paper. The triggering pulses are generated by bringing the input sinusoidal and triangular waves on the same graph. Maximum boosted output can be achieved through this method just by adjusting its modulation index and shoot-through intervals.
