Abstract
A power supply system has a solar cell and a battery which comprises a plurality of modules. The number of modules used to supply electrical power to the load is controlled as well as the recharging of the modules, based on energy supply and demand data over a time period of multiple days. This enables the battery modules to be used more efficiently, and they can be charged and recharged less frequently on average, thereby extending the battery lifetime.
