Abstract
Disclosed herein is a control system, including: a first apparatus configured to adjust an output voltage thereof so that the output voltage may be included in a range determined in advance in response to a variation of an input voltage thereto from an electric power generation section; and a second apparatus configured to change a charge rate into a battery in response to the variation of the input voltage supplied from the first apparatus, wherein when a state in which the output voltage from the first apparatus is near to a lower limit thereof continues for a period longer than a period of time set in advance, one of two or more lower limits prepared in advance is selected as the value of the lower limit in accordance with to which one of sections set in advance input current from the electric power generation section belongs.
