In a method for fabricating a solar cell, an amorphous silicon film of a first conductivity type is formed on a substrate, and nickel silicide is formed thereon. The amorphous silicon film is crystallized through heat treatment to obtain a crystalline silicon film of the first conductivity type. Residual nickel silicide on the surface of the crystalline silicon film of the first conductivity type is removed. Another crystalline silicon film of a second conductivity type is further formed on the surface of the crystalline silicon film of the first conductivity type.

A voltage measurement device that measures the terminal voltage of the secondary battery and a control microcomputer that sets the target output voltage of the converter are provided, and the target output voltage is set slightly higher than the terminal voltage. The fuel cell is operated within a power generation condition offering the highest fuel conversion efficiency. Due to this configuration, the system composed of the fuel cell and the converter functions like a constant voltage/current source that outputs the power generated by the fuel cell with the voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the secondary battery. The excess/deficiency of this output current with respect to the current for driving the load is automatically adjusted by the charge/discharge of the secondary battery.

There is provided: a (meth)acrylic acid (salt) polymer which has high properties and is little colored; and a process which can produce this polymer with a high polymerization conversion without causing the corrosion of the reaction vessel. When a (meth)acrylic acid (salt) polymer is obtained by carrying out polymerization of an unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer (a) and an unsaturated polyalkylene glycolic monomer (b) with a polymerization initiator, either a redox polymerization initiator including hydrogen peroxide and a reducing agent is used as the polymerization initiator in a specific amount, or the unsaturated polyalkylene glycolic monomer is subjected to the polymerization in the form of an esterification reaction product as obtained by a process including the steps of: esterifying the unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer and a polyalkylene glycol in a specific charging ratio in the presence of an acid catalyst in a manner for a portion of the residual unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer as a starting raw material to remain; and then neutralizing the acid catalyst and the residual unsaturated monocarboxylic monomer (a) with a basic substance after the esterification; and the polymerization is carried out under conditions where the pH during the polymerization is in the range of 3.2 to 7.0.
