2. Description of the Related Art Since the output power of a solar cell varies greatly depending on the operating point of the solar cell, in order to effectively use the generated power of the solar cell, the operating point that gives the maximum power of the solar cell is searched for and operated there. Maximum power tracking control that moves points must be performed. However, since the generated power of the solar cell is almost flat during low solar radiation, even if maximum power tracking control is performed in this state, it becomes rather inefficient. Therefore, normally, the maximum power follow-up control is stopped during solar radiation. In the past, the start / stop of the maximum power tracking control was determined by determining that the output voltage of the solar cell reached the set value.
