Abstract: A power generation support system for a vehicle in which a plurality of solar cell panels are attached to a vehicle body, the power generation support system including: a estimation unit configured to estimate an amount of power generated per unit hour by the plurality of solar cell panels when the vehicle is to be parked in a scheduled parking area so that the front of the vehicle faces a first direction and estimate an amount of power generated per unit hour by the plurality of solar cell panels when the vehicle is to be parked in the scheduled parking area so that the front of the vehicle faces a second direction that is opposite to the first direction; and an output unit configured to output information about a direction in which the vehicle faces when it is to be parked in the scheduled parking area.

Abstract: A charge support system including: a detection unit configured to detect that a vehicle is scheduled to be parked for a predetermined period or longer; an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a charging of a storage battery when the detection unit detects that the vehicle is scheduled to be parked for a predetermined period or longer; a determination unit configured to determine, based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit, whether or not it is necessary to keep storing electricity generated by a solar cell panel in the storage battery; and a notification unit configured to, when the determination unit determines that it is not necessary to keep storing the electricity generated by the solar cell panel in the storage battery, send a notification prompting a driver to connect a charging cable to a storage apparatus outside the vehicle.

Abstract: A charge support system for a plurality of vehicles capable of traveling autonomously, each of the vehicles including a solar cell panel attached to a vehicle body and a storage battery configured to store electricity generated by the solar cell panel, the charge support system including: an acquisition unit configured to acquire, regarding the plurality of vehicles parked in a predetermined parking area, at least information about charging efficiencies of a plurality of the storage batteries of the respective vehicles by the electricity generated by a plurality of the solar cell panels of the respective vehicles and information about charging rates of the plurality of the storage batteries of the respective vehicles; and a traveling control unit configured to move the plurality of vehicles within a range of the predetermined parking area based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract: Primary information relating to generation or use of electrical energy generated by the solar power generation apparatus (23) mounted in the vehicle (5) and secondary information relating to the vehicle (5) mounting the solar power generation apparatus (23) are acquired, and natural energy utilization information tying the acquired secondary information with the acquired primary information is prepared.

Abstract: An exothermic heat generating apparatus is preferably used as a heat source for rapidly heating in a vehicle or the like, to enable repetition of stable exothermic reaction for long terms.In the apparatus, a closed cycle includes a reactor filled with alkali earth oxide, a water tank, a water supply pipe to supply water from the water tank into the reactor, and a reflux pipe to return the water from the reactor to the water tank. Reversible reaction between the alkali earth oxide and the water is carried out in the closed system. A pump supplies the reactor with water, and a solenoid valve controls a water supply. The exothermic heat generating apparatus uses heat generated by hydration reaction of the alkali earth oxide to rapidly heat a catalytic section, a cooling water section, an air intake section and the like at a time of engine start-up.
