(Prior art and its disadvantages) Conventionally, a solar cell charges a secondary battery with power generated by a solar cell, and when the voltage of the power generated by the solar cell decreases, the secondary battery supplies charging power to a load. The use of power supplies continues to increase due to the fact that there is no regional deflection difference, which is a characteristic of solar cells, and that no manual work is required to start driving the load.

Now, when the solar cell 1 is irradiated with light, it outputs power with an open-circuit voltage equal to or higher than a certain level. Then, the secondary battery 3 is charged via the backflow prevention diode 2. Further, the open circuit voltage of the solar cell 1 is divided by the resistors RI and R2 of the voltage detection means 4, and a voltage is applied to the base of the inverting transistor Tr+.

However, if the solar cell power supply device having the above-mentioned electric circuit is produced in a factory and packed tightly, the solar cell 1 will not be irradiated with light, and the open circuit voltage of the solar cell 1 detected by the voltage detection means 4 will be below a certain level. Therefore, the switching transistor Trz is turned on, and power from the secondary battery 3 is supplied to the load 5. That is, the load 5 is driven inside the package, and even if the user actually wants to use this solar battery power supply device, the amount of charge in the secondary battery 3 is extremely small, so the load 5 cannot be driven effectively. I couldn't do it.
