Abstract
A vehicle management device for managing parking positions in a parking lot of a plurality of vehicles equipped with a solar battery and a power storage device for storing electric power generated by the solar battery, wherein based on the conversion efficiency of the solar battery of each vehicle and the sunlight conditions of the parking lot, the parking position of each vehicle is set so that the amount of solar electric power generation by multiple vehicles per unit time or the sum total of the amount of power generated by the solar cells mounted on multiple vehicles is large. As a result, the amount of electric power generated per unit time and the sum of the amount of electric power generated of the vehicles as a whole can be improved.
