Abstract
There are provided a restricted area including an area in which solar cell modules are installed, a preventer for preventing intrusion of an intruder into the restricted area, and a detector capable of detecting the intrusion of the intruder into the restricted area, and a predetermined electric shock preventer is activated by a signal outputted from the detector upon detection of the intruder to prevent the intruder from receiving an electric shock.
Claims22
A photovoltaic power generation system comprising a solar cell module, a restricted area including an area having the solar cell module installed therein, detecting means for detecting intrusion of an intruder into the restricted area to output a signal, electric shock preventing means activated by the signal outputted from the detecting means, first means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder into the restricted area, and second means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder provided around said first means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder, wherein the detecting means is mounted on said first means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder.
A method of controlling a photovoltaic power generation system comprising a solar cell module, a restricted area including an area in which the solar cell module is installed, detecting means for detecting intrusion of an intruder into the restricted area, electric shock preventing means, first means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder into the restricted area, and second means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder provided around said first means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder, wherein when the detecting means detects the intrusion of the intruder into the restricted area, the electric shock preventing means is activated based on a signal outputted from the detecting means, and wherein the detecting means is mounted on said first means for preventing the intrusion of the intruder.
