Abstract: A solar power generation system includes a string, an inverter a first shut-off device, and a second shut-off device. The string includes a plurality of solar cell module groups connected in series. The first shut-off device is connected to a first electric path connecting between the plurality of solar cell module groups. The second shut-off device is connected to a second electric path connecting between the plurality of solar cell module groups. The first shut-off device cuts off a connection between the plurality of solar cell module groups connected to the first electric path in response to a first control signal from the inverter. The second shut-off device is driven by an electrical power supplied from the first shut-off device and cuts off a connection between the solar cell module groups connected to the second electric path in response to a second control signal from the first shut-off device.
