When the signal receiving end receives the operation permission signal in the non-set time period (namely, between the non-T1 time point and the T2 time point), or the signal receiving end receives the turn-off signal or cannot receive the operation permission signal, the voltage regulating device is controlled to operate, the output voltage of the photovoltaic assembly is regulated, and the photovoltaic assembly is connected with the main line at low voltage so as to reduce the output voltage of the photovoltaic assembly. Preferably, the voltage regulating device is a DC/DC power converter.
