Abstract
A photovoltaic device includes a first photovoltaic cell configured to perform photovoltaic power generation by using, as irradiation light, light generated by a light source device including a laser light source or a discharge lamp light source. The first photovoltaic cell is arranged such that maximum irradiance (a light amount per unit area in a light receiving portion of the first photovoltaic cell at a time when a light amount of the irradiation light applied to the first photovoltaic cell is at a maximum) does not exceed maximum power generation effective irradiance (a maximum value of a light amount per unit area that can be used by the first photovoltaic cell for power generation).
