Abstract
[Problem] An object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic power generation system that performs the MPPT control with respect to respective panels and minimizes the power loss due to the power conversion. [Means for Solving the Problem] The photovoltaic power generation system according to the present invention performs an MPPT control for each photovoltaic panel by charging the lacking voltage or current. The power charge section connected in series or parallel to each panel charges the lacking voltage or current being caused by the non-uniformity of light quantities of the photovoltaic panels or temperatures.
