In this work, a new modular multilevel inverter topology is introduced for a single phase grid connected Photovoltaic system. This multilevel inverter use less number of switches to generate seven levels compared to other conventional multilevel inverters. This requires only one isolated dc source to operate. So it is suitable for renewable energy application. This inverter is designed by submodule configuration; each sub module contains two switches and one DC link capacitor. The sub modules will be added to the inverter depending on number of levels. The voltage balancing of DC link capacitor is carried out by Y matrix PWM technique. Because of Y matrix PWM technique, the inverter gets a self capacitor voltage balancing ability. So there is no need of external devices required for balancing the voltage of capacitor. A PLL for grid integration and LCL filter are designed and integrated with this inverter. The simulation of proposed system is carried out by MATLAB/SIMULINK and performance of THD is monitored as per standards
