Solar modules including a solar panel, a sensor for acquiring a power generation state of the solar panel, and a power generation control unit for controlling power generation of the solar panel based on the power generation state are connected to each other. A scan control device for controlling a scan process for scanning an output voltage of each solar panel executed by each power generation control unit to search for a maximum power point includes a determination unit for determining whether or not a power generation state of each solar panel satisfies a predetermined condition, and an instruction unit for instructing a power generation control unit of a solar panel to be controlled based on a result of a scan process in a specific solar module when there is a solar module to be controlled whose power generation state of the solar panel does not satisfy the predetermined condition.
A scan control device that controls a scanning process in a system in which a plurality of solar modules is connected, the solar modules each including a solar panel, a sensor that acquires a power generation state of the solar panel, and a power generation control unit that controls power generation by the solar panel based on the power generation state of the solar panel, the scanning process being executed by each power generation control unit to search for a maximum power point by scanning an output voltage of each solar panel, the scan control device comprising:
