Abstract
A solar power generation system includes a string, an inverter, and a first shut-off device. The string includes a plurality of solar cell modules connected in series. The inverter converts DC power output from the plurality of solar cell modules to AC power. The first shut-off device is connected to electrical paths connecting the plurality of solar cell modules to each other. The string includes a plurality of solar cell module groups each including the plurality of the solar cell modules. The plurality of solar cell module groups include at least a first group and a second group connected to the first group. The first shut-off device shuts off a first electrical path connecting the first group and the second group and a second electrical path connecting the plurality of solar cell modules belonging to the first group to each other in response to a control signal from the inverter.
