Abstract
To solve problems arising when a power conditioner equivalent to that connected to a solar panel is connected to a power storage device. Direct-current power generated by the solar panelis supplied to a DC-DC converterand output as a predetermined direct-current voltage. The output voltage of the converteris supplied to a DC-AC inverter. Direct-current power generated by the power storage deviceis supplied to a DC-DC converter. Predetermined direct-current power from the converteris supplied to a DC-AC inverter. Alternating-current power output by the inverteris supplied to an alternating-current power system at home. The converteris configured to have two output voltages. The first output voltage is a standby voltage. The second voltage is a voltage at which the inverterstarts power supply to outside.
