The need for high gain DC-DC converters has lately increased in tandem with the utilization of renewable energy supplies. Particularly appealing are high gain converters that do not require the inclusion of extra power switches and/or other passive elements to the system. As a result, this study proposes a non-isolated single switch converter with ultra-high voltage gain (UHG) that is appropriate for most renewable energy conversion systems, like solar installations. With only a single MOSFET working within a suitable duty cycle region, the proposed converter provides significant voltage gain and around 95% efficiency. Moreover, the MOSFET in this UHG converter is turned on in zero current switching (ZCS) mode, resolving the diode recovery issue. The recommended UHG converter’s working modes, steady-state parametric study, circuit variables like voltage stress on switching devices, and converter gain are all thoroughly explained. Comparisons have been done with comparable topologies presented in the literature, and lastly, experimental results depending on 200W (20V input, 320V output voltage) are given to validate the operation of the proposed UHG design.
