Abstract

See full text

A solar power generation system includes: solar cells, or solar cells and at least one capacitor, connected in series between output terminals; an accompanying circuit provided for each of the solar cells, or each of the solar cells and each of the at least one capacitor, the accompanying circuit including an inductor and a switching device arranged in series; and a power generation operating point control device. The solar cells, or the solar cells and the at least one capacitor, are divided into units, of which adjacent units share one of the solar cells or one of the at least one capacitor. The power generation operating point control device is provided for each of the units, and is configured to control connection and disconnection of the switching device so as to optimize power generating capacity of the unit for which the power generation operating point control device is provided.
