Abstract
According to one embodiment, a solar cell system includes a first solar cell including a first terminal and a second terminal, a second solar cell including a third terminal and a fourth terminal, and a voltage converter including a fifth terminal and a sixth terminal. The third terminal is electrically connected to the first terminal. The fifth terminal is electrically connected to the fourth terminal. The voltage converter causes a second absolute value to be smaller than a first absolute value. The first absolute value is of a difference between a first potential difference and a second potential difference. The first potential difference is between the first and second terminals. The second potential difference is between the first and fourth terminals. The second absolute value is of a difference between the first and third potential differences. The third potential difference is between the first and sixth terminals.
