In an air filtering apparatus in which power is supplied from a power supply to electrodes in an electrolytic bath to electrolyze water in the electrolytic bath and thus generate electrolytic water and the generated electrolytic water and air are supplied to a gas-liquid contact member to filter the air, a voltage varying unit varies the voltage applied between the electrodes, and includes a voltage switching unit for switching a power supply voltage, a voltage adjusting unit for adjusting the power supply voltage switched by the voltage switching unit and applying the adjusted voltage between the electrodes and a controller for controlling the voltage switching unit so that the power supply voltage is adjusted to a voltage nearest to the adjusted power supply voltage by the voltage adjusting unit.

Air filtering apparatus

In a solar energy generator including a solar battery a microcomputer for controlling at least a boosting circuit and an inverter circuit so that AC power suitably usable as the AC power of a commercial power supply system can be supplied to the commercial power supply system, the power to be supplied to the various kinds of equipment of the solar energy generator is selectively supplied from one of the solar battery and the commercial power supply system. The microcomputer stores the operational status data of the solar energy generator into an external storage device, and these data can be used for maintenance or trouble shooting of the solar energy generator.
