Abstract
A converter is configured for connecting between a solar cell and an inverter configured to convert direct-current power output from the solar cell into alternating current power, and the converter is configured to increase the potential-to-ground at the negative terminal of the solar cell to greater than the potential-to-ground at the negative terminal of the inverter when outputting the direct-current power generated by the solar cell to the inverter side.
