Abstract
A solar panel unit () includes a control unit () which operates an actuator () such that an angle of a solar panel () coincides with a predetermined command angle. The control unit () performs reset control for resetting the angle of the solar panel () misaligned due to strong wind. In the reset control, the actuator () is not operated until a predetermined time has passed since the angle of the solar panel () was misaligned to wait for the strong wind to stop, and then the actuator () is operated to reset the angle of the solar panel ().
