This paper proposes a circulating current suppression method of grid-connected inverters in parallel inverters using serial communication. The grid-

connected inverter for large scale photovoltaic generation system consists of multiple modules in parallel based in unit inverter module. The existing 

method to synchronize PWM signals between inverter modules was implemented by CAN communication with high interrupt priority. However, the 

high priority of CAN communication can cause deterioration in current control performance due to limited resource of controller. This paper 

introduces an improved synchronization method of PWM signals with low interrupt priority using time stamp function. The effectiveness of the 

proposed method is verified by experimental results with 250kW inverter system.
