Abstract
A solar power generation system includes a string, an inverter, a first shutoff device, and a second shutoff device. The string includes a plurality of solar cell modules connected in series. The first shutoff device includes a first switching unit and a second switching unit, and turns OFF the switching units, in response to a first control signal from the inverter. The first switching unit is connected to an anode side terminal of the string and an anode side terminal of the inverter. The second switching unit is connected to a cathode side terminal of the string and a cathode side terminal of the inverter. The second shutoff device cuts off a solar cell module group including one or more among the plurality of solar cell modules and either another solar cell module or the inverter in response to a second control signal from the first shutoff device.
