An object of the present invention is to provide a photovoltaic power
generation system which is capable of achieving system linkage of a
plurality of solar cell strings having different output voltages to a
commercial electric power system with ease, and which enables efficient
use of the maximum output electric power. It is a photovoltaic power
generation system characterized by disposing voltage regulating means
that regulates a DC voltage outputted from non-standard solar cell string
between a standard solar cell string and electric power converting means,
and regulating an output voltage of the non-standard solar cell string to
the side of an output voltage of the standard solar cell string by the
use of the voltage regulating means.
